A judge may hold a party in contempt of court for violating a court order. This is a serious offense that can result in community service, fines and jail time of up to five days per offense. Being found in contempt could also cause a party to lose custody or visitation rights. If you or your children are being harmed in any way by another person’s failure to obey a court order, you should contact an experienced attorney immediately.

At the Huntington Beach, California based Law Office of Jeffrey D. Stearman, I have assisted many clients who needed help to enforce a court order. I have been an attorney in Southern California for over 40 years. I know the law and I know your rights. I will work tirelessly on your behalf to see that your rights are respected according to the terms issued by the court.

There are many types of court orders that may need to be enforced during or after a divorce proceeding. Restraining orders against domestic violence, child support, spousal support and child custody and visitation orders can all come into play in these types of cases.

I also represent people being held in contempt. If you are being accused of violating a court order, I can help you. If you are unable to comply with the agreed upon visitation schedule due to a job change, can’t make your support payments due to a change in circumstances or dispute the validity of a restraining order, I can help you. I handle all types of modifications and represent clients regularly in domestic violence matters.

Contact my office today to personally discuss your court order enforcement questions with a lawyer. You can call 714-871-7778 for a FREE initial phone consultation or send me an email. I am available by phone during regular business hours and regularly check email evenings and weekends.
