What You Should Know About the Law on Contempt

Contempt is more than just failing to follow a court order. It is a willful action — not a mistake. Each family's situation is unique and a strong advocate is needed to convey your situation to the court. By working with a strong advocate, an experienced attorney who knows the law on contempt and child support enforcement, you increase your chances of getting the results you depend on.

Who will pay my attorney's fees? Under Georgia law, the court can award attorney's fees to the winning side. While each person involved is responsible for their attorney's fees up front, prevailing in court may mean that you are not responsible for fees owed to your lawyer. This means that you can afford to take action — especially if your family's future depends on it.
