How Courts Enforce Financial & Parental Obligations in Florida<\/h2>\n
When a party does not follow a court order or a parenting plan in Florida, courts have the power to enforce the orders through proceedings of contempt. It is very important to go through the appropriate legal channels to achieve enforcement. You cannot resort to your own devices to deal with the violation of a court order, such as by denying access to your children because your former spouse isn\u2019t paying child support. By doing so, you will also be in violation of a court order, which could jeopardize your own legal rights and options to resolve the situation in your favor. Ways a court may enforce a child support, timesharing, or alimony order include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Income withholding or wage garnishment<\/li>\n
- Driver\u2019s license, business license, professional license, and\/or recreational license suspension<\/li>\n
- Federal income tax refund intercept<\/li>\n
- Personal property liens<\/li>\n
- Requiring make-up parenting time for the parent who was denied parenting time<\/li>\n
- Requiring either or both parents to attend a parenting course or family counseling at the expense of the non-compliant parent<\/li>\n
- Adding additional terms and conditions to the existing parenting plan<\/li>\n
- Modifying the parenting plan in the best interests of the child<\/li>\n
- Finding the non-compliant party in contempt of court, and imposing a fine or jail sentence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
