When a court order is issued, it must be followed. However, not all parties comply. If someone fails to follow an order — such as paying support or respecting parenting arrangements — enforcement measures are available. These may include wage garnishment, fines or legal action. In serious cases, contempt of court proceedings may be initiated. Enforcement ensures that legal decisions are respected and that individuals are held accountable. A family lawyer can guide you through the enforcement process and help resolve the issue efficiently.
