Contempt of Court in Florida Divorce

The final judgment of dissolution signed by the judge assigned to your case is a legal document which orders you and your spouse to comply with the terms of your marital settlement agreement or , if a trial was necessary, the court’s determination of what happens to your property and children, child support and alimony.
If one party doesn’t comply with the court order, he or she is in “contempt of court” and the violating party may be subject to penalties which may include reimbursement of cost and lawyer fees.
If your spouse fails to adhere to your divorce settlement agreement, he or she could face serious consequences such as:
“    Driver’s license suspension
“    Jail time
“    Bank account levies
“    Tax return seizure
In DivorceDeli.com’s experience, non-payment or late payment of child support or alimony is the most common order which is violated.  If this happens to you, it is an extremely serious situation that needs to be handled immediately to avoid further legal issues. We can help!
