Orlando Child Support Enforcement Lawyers

Working to Enforce Alimony and Child Support

Alimony, spousal support, and child support are necessary payments ordered by the court that individuals rely on and deserve to receive. When an individual fails to pay due support, it can create a financial burden on the person due the support. At the law office of Dunlop, Dunlop, & Dunlop, P.A., we understand what is at stake when payments are not made and the difficulties of enforcing such payments.

With over 10 years of experience practicing law, our attorneys are knowledgeable in Florida laws. We assist Florida residents enforce child support, alimony, and spousal support court orders and file civil contempt motions when necessary. If you need assistance with enforcement of Florida payments, our attorneys can help. Contact our Florida contempt lawyers to discuss your situation.

Contempt - When it makes a difference

If an individual has the ability to pay and deliberately violates a court order for support, the courts may hold that individual in contempt for failure to pay the child support or alimony. An individual charged with contempt faces the penalties of incarceration, restitution, and fines.

If the individual did not have the ability to pay the support, there is not a valid reason to file a contempt motion because it is likely that the individual still does not have the ability to pay. Contempt orders are not intended to harass an individual for not paying support. Their intent is to reimburse the due support and punish an individual for not following a court order when they had the ability to pay.

How We Can Help

When assisting individuals with child support and alimony enforcement, we analyze the situation to verify that there was in fact contempt. If contempt was involved, our firm investigates what remedies are available to our client. If the individual had means to pay our client but deliberately failed to do so or spent the money on non-necessities, our support enforcement lawyers represent our clients in a contempt action by filing a motion for contempt and enforcement.

If you are not receiving court ordered child support payments, spousal support payments, or alimony, and believe the individual has the ability to pay the support, we may be able to assist you in a civil contempt action to reimburse you and punish the individual.
