Enforcement of court order cases are a type of lawsuit that is filed in order to ask the court’s assistance in forcing a party to obey a court order that already exists.
In Family Law, the court is often asked to enforce orders dealing with child support or visitation. Usually court orders will be enforced by “contempt.” If a person is found in “contempt” of a court order, the Judge may sanction the person by ordering them to pay a fine. They may also be sent to jail, or both.
