If a spouse is in violation of their divorce decree, there may be a motion filed for contempt of court. Contempt of court may be filed for situations such as child support payments being withheld, visitation being violated, property payments being suspended, and more. Being held in contempt of court is a serious offense, which may result in jail time, fines, payment of your ex-spouse’s attorney fees, and/or an installation of a restraining order.
