What Orders May Be Enforced?

Enforcement simply means the process by which one person is brought to obey a court order. In family law, court enforcement can deal with a range of matters.

These matters are commonly enforced:

• Visitation
• Child support
• Powers and duties regarding the children
• Property division
• Spousal maintenance (alimony)

If court orders are not followed the person can be found to be in contempt of court, where penalties may include fines, attorneys fees, and/ or jail time.

How Does a Court Order Become Enforceable Through Contempt?

A court order must be clear and specific for it to be enforceable through contempt. This means the order must include specific commands, dates, times, locations, and more down to the smallest detail. If the court order is not this clear, the individual cannot be held in contempt, but rather the order can be revised for clarity before the individual has another opportunity to obey.
