Schneider Law Firm, P.C. | Family Law & Criminal Defense

Court Order Enforcement

In a family law case, achieving a favorable settlement or obtaining a court order in your favor is only half the battle. After the court has issued orders on matters like child custody, visitation, child support, alimony, or property division, strict adherence to these mandates become imperative. Should a party fail to comply with the court’s directives, pursuing enforcement of the order becomes necessary.

While a simple letter from an attorney can sometimes serve as a reminder of obligations, sometimes more serious actions are required. This may involve compelling the non-compliant party to return to court and address their non-compliance before the judge.

If enforcement of an order becomes necessary, our team of experienced attorneys are resolute in taking all essential steps to safeguard our clients’ rights and ensure their interests are protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I do if my ex isn't following our custody or support order?

If the other party isn’t complying with a court order—whether it’s for custody, visitation, or child support—you have the right to request enforcement through the courts. Texas judges take violations seriously and may impose penalties or modify the order.
Let Schneider Law Firm help you take action and protect what’s been ordered.

Can I enforce a divorce decree if my ex won’t cooperate?

Yes. A final divorce decree is legally binding. If your ex is refusing to divide property, pay debts, or follow the terms of your agreement, you can file a motion to enforce.
Contact our office today to make sure your rights—and the court’s orders—are upheld.

What happens if someone is found in contempt of a court order?

Being held in contempt can lead to fines, wage garnishment, driver’s license suspension, or even jail time. The court will consider the nature and frequency of the violations.
If you need to enforce or defend against a court order, Schneider Law Firm is here to help.
