Enforce Your Order With a Smyrna Child Support Lawyer
If your ex-spouse has failed to live up to the requirements set by your divorce order, including the non-payment of spousal support or child support, there are a number of options available to you to enforce that order. One of these options is to file a Motion for Contempt in the county of the original court order. The failure to comply with this motion may result in financial penalties and jail time for the offending party if that failure continues.
At the Herrin Law Firm, P.C., we understand that when one spouse fails to pay child support or alimony, it can financially harm the other spouse, who is dependant upon that income. Attorney Parisa N. Herrin has years of experience handling alimony and child support enforcement cases throughout metro Atlanta and the state of Georgia.

Talk With a Marietta Contempt of Court Attorney
In Georgia, there are two main options for dealing with the non-payment of child support or the non-payment of spousal support.
The first of these is filing of a Motion for Contempt. The non-compliant party, upon the filing of this motion, must return to court in order to defend the action. This is true even if that party has moved away or lost a job. The penalties for continued non-compliance are severe and may result in the arrest of the offending party.
Additionally, if the employment information of the non-complying party is known, it may be possible to enforce a wage garnishment or automatic wage deduction. This will require an employer to withhold earnings to repay child support or spousal support. Talk with us about your circumstances and let us advise you on your best options for financial recovery.
