Child Support Enforcement

Most child support enforcement actions come about when one parent fails to make child support payments on time. With a contempt proceeding, the individual who fails to pay child support can be threatened with jail time. In addition, the court can issue an “income deduction order” that will have child support payments automatically deducted from his or her paycheck.

Child Custody Enforcement

Enforcement actions for child custody are usually advanced in response to a parent who fails to respect the other parent’s visitation rights or doesn’t uphold his or her end of the child custody arrangement. A contempt order for child custody violations can result in jail time, and it can also prompt the judge to change custody from one parent to the other.
