Unfortunately, sometimes the other side in your family law case will not follow the Court’s order. Kelly Price and the Law Office of James Kenny can assist you in enforcement of the Court’s orders. Some areas of enforcement include a wage garnishment, writ of execution, abstract of support judgment, judgment debtor’s exam, and a contempt action. Most times, legal fees can be ordered to be paid by the offending party for having to commence enforcement proceedings.
Additionally, things change in a family law case. Most orders may be modified to adjust to your current circumstances. The type of issue needing modification will require different burdens of proof to be met. Seeking or defending a request to modify orders requires skilled legal representation.

Many clients often ask what our strategy is or what we have planned for a particular hearing or event in the case. Oftentimes, it is hard to predict an exact course of action or outcome because we are working with other individuals, such as judges, experts, attorneys, and litigants. A good strategy in our eyes is made of the following:
The first step in enforcing an order is to meet with your attorney and decide the best course of action for the specific facts of your case. Once that has been determined, there are likely papers that will needed to be filed with the Court and potentially a hearing or other event. The Family Code usually provides the Court the authority to grant reasonable fees and costs for someone who must seek court intervention to enforce an order. The first step in modifying an order is to file a motion with the court which will set forth the order you would like changed and the legal basis for doing so. A court hearing is next and depending on what type of order you are requesting to modify, an evidentiary hearing may be necessary.
