West Hartford Divorce and Custody Contempt Attorneys

Court orders must be followed. However, sometimes people ignore their legal duties. When this happens, a person is considered to be in contempt of the court order. At Swerdloff & Swerdloff, we are West Hartford contempt lawyers who help individuals ensure that their ex-spouses follow the terms of a court order. With more than 33 years of experience, you can rely on us to make sure that your interests are properly represented and that you receive that to which you are legally entitled.

We Handle Pre-Judgment and Post-Judgment Contempt Orders

To be found in violation of a court order, the party in question must know about the order, have the present ability to fulfill it, and willfully refuse to do so. The consequences for violating a court order can be severe. One possible result is that the court can order a party jailed to provide an incentive to comply with its order. Our dedicated Connecticut family law attorneys can seek pre-judgment and post-judgment actions for all manner of court order violations, including cases where:

• A parent refuses to pay child support
• An ex-spouse has not paid spousal support for a number of months
• A parent is violating the terms of a visitation order

When your ex-spouse is not following the law, you have options to force him or her to comply.  Likewise if you are accused of not following court orders there are options available to you. The skilled attorneys at our West Hartford law firm can guide you through the process to ensure that court orders are being followed. We will put our experience to work for you in an efficient and compassionate manner.

If you have been accused of contempt of court orders you need aggressive contempt attorneys. The powers of the court in contempt cases are very broad, including incarceration. We are experienced in defending against accusations of contempt.
