Alpharetta Contempt Lawyer
Enforcing Court Orders in Georgia
A court order requiring child support or granting visitation is no guarantee that your ex-spouse will actually obey that order. But you can get the Court to issue a visitation or child support enforcement order that can be used to obtain what you are entitled to.
The Siemon Law Firm can take action to enforce any court order including:
- Child custody
- Child visitation
- Child support payments
- Alimony
- Distributions from property settlements

You Have Rights and Remedies
Our justice system was developed to protect your rights and provide remedies when those rights are denied. If your ex-spouse is knowingly and willingly disobeying a court order, The Siemon Law Firm can take action on your behalf.
If you are not receiving court-ordered payments, our attorneys can generally obtain an enforcement order in the form of an order for contempt, which can carry penalties ranging from jail, court-ordered payment plans and/or a monetary judgment. Then, we can use that order to garnish your ex-spouse's wages or bank account. Similarly, we can use the same process to obtain alimony, or to attach property you are entitled to under a property division order.
Enforcing Child Custody and Visitation Orders
The courts are particularly vigilant in matters involving child custody and visitation. If you are being denied visitation time or primary custody of your child, we can petition the court to issue a contempt order against your ex-spouse. This empowers law enforcement personnel to find your ex-spouse and enforce the order.
