Contempt of Court Actions

This can be done through contempt of court actions which you can initiate. If you need legal assistance in gaining your ex-spouse’s compliance in a child support, alimony, or other divorce settlement issue, the Brannen Law Office, P.C. is here to help. Our Statesboro family lawyer is a seasoned litigator who is well versed in family court legal matters and procedures.

Penalties for Non-Compliance to Court Orders
Per Georgia law, contempt of court means the willful refusal to comply with a court order. At the time that your divorce was settled, child support payments and alimony payments were established and ordered by the judge presiding over your case. These became part of the written and final court orders. When an individual fails to abide by these orders through nonpayment, he or she may be facing some serious consequences.
For example, failure to pay child support in Georgia may lead to:
- Contempt of court
- Loss of one’s driver’s license
- Loss of a business or professional license
- Fines
- Jail time
