Enforcement/Contempt Proceedings
Disputes over parenting plans, relocation, property and debts can continue after a divorce. This is especially true when couples get a divorce without an attorney and have created legal documents that are vague and imprecise or that fail to take into account numerous post divorce contingencies.
At Bowen Law Group, we represent people throughout Denton, Wise, Cooke, and Tarrant County in family law matters, including post-divorce disputes. During a divorce proceeding we attempt to create thorough agreements that are designed to avoid future disputes as much as possible. Significant life changes, poor communication and cooperation, or other significant challenges can foil even the most forward-thinking agreement.
An enforcement/contempt proceeding involves a request to a judge to hold one party in civil contempt of court for failure to comply with an existing court order. This may involve a divorce order with child support or spousal maintenance provisions that have been violated or a situation in which a party has violated the terms of a court-ordered parenting plan or property division. If you are responding to a motion to hold you in contempt or believe that a contempt proceeding is necessary to force your ex-spouse to comply with a court order, we can help.
