Contempt Lawyers in Clay County

Contempt of Court in Florida

Unfortunately, the need for a knowledgeable attorney doesn’t always end with a divorce decree or court order. When an ex-spouse or other party fails to follow through on an agreement or legally binding arrangement, call Haslett Law. We assist clients with cases involving contempt of a decree or court order in Green Cove Springs and beyond.

Contact Haslett Law at (904) 299-1188 for a consultation of contempt of court cases.

Violations of a Court Order

Following a divorce decree or paternity action, the other parent may not always fulfill his or her responsibilities or requirements of the court order.

Our contempt lawyers assist clients when an ex-spouse or the other parent fails to:

  • Pay child support
  • Pay spousal support
  • Cover the cost of medical expenses
  • Transfer property as required by the court
  • Allow the other parent access to the child
  • Cooperate with other terms of the divorce or paternity action

If you are dealing with an ex-spouse or co-parent who is refusing to hold up his or her end of the agreement, you need an experienced and knowledgeable attorney on your side.

Violating a Court Order Has Consequences

When the other party violates a court order, the law provides for several types of sanctions for contempt. A knowledgeable attorney can help ensure that your rights are protected and the other party follows through on all court-ordered obligations.

  • “I would highly recommend Haslett Law to anyone seeking legal assistance.”
    I was referred to Betsy Haslett by an attorney at a large Jacksonville business. I live in North Carolina and desperately need legal help with two separate family emergencies in Florida. Betsy helped me understand all of the steps of the actions we needed to take. She was always available to me as I navigated crisis after crisis. My family emergencies have been resolved thanks to Betsy’s attention to detail and we continue to address additional issues as they arise. I am grateful for her legal expertise and her support during an extremely difficult and emotional time. I would highly recommend Haslett Law to anyone seeking legal assistance.

  • “Our lives would not be as blessed as they are today.”
    JR went above and beyond to see our case through. Even after our family member botched up the initial deal that had been struck, he stepped in when he didn’t have to and re negotiated another opportunity. JR took a sincere interest in our family and were it not for his extra effort our lives would not be as blessed as they are today. He told us at the beginning that he would follow the case through to it end and that’s exactly what he did and then some.
