Helping Cincinnati Parents Enforce Child Support Orders
If your former spouse or the other parent of your child is violating your divorce or refusing to pay child support, you have the right to file a motion of contempt. This is an official request to the court to require an individual to perform the stipulations of the court order. The court may also penalize the person for noncompliance.
Whether you are seeking to hold a person in contempt of court, or you need to defend against such an action, DeBra Law, LLC, is here to advocate aggressively on your behalf.

Filing For Contempt Of Court In Ohio
Although contempt can result in penalties such as fines and jail time, the ultimate goal is not punishment. The primary purpose of contempt is to pressure someone into compliance with a family law order, including paying court-ordered child support or even honoring a parenting time agreement.
What Needs To Be Proven
For an individual to be found in contempt, the accuser must prove that:
1) there was a court order in place that required the accused to do, or not do, some act, and
2) the accused failed to comply with that court order.
Our skilled Cincinnati contempt lawyer can work with you to gather evidence to establish these two facts.
