Enforcement Service in Keller, TX

Enforcement of Visitation Rights

Most people don't realize that when the other parent denies you your court-ordered access to your children, there are steps you can take to enforce your rights. Just like child support, if a parent denies the other parent their court-ordered visitation time, the parent denying the visitation can be held in contempt of court. Contempt carries a punishment of up to six months in jail and/or up to a $500 fine. In most instances, the offending party will have to pay the other party's attorney fees as well.

If you have been denied your court-ordered visitation rights, contact The Griffin Firm for a consultation to discuss your rights and what actions you can take. Doing nothing will only empower the other person to continue to deny you your visitation. We will provide you with in-depth explanations of the process and of the law to ensure you are up to speed.

Enforcement of Child Support

It's hard enough raising a child on your own, but when you can't get any financial help from the other parent, it can be even more difficult. Wade L. Griffin, Jr. has over five years of experience working for the Texas Attorney General's Child Support Division and over a decade of practicing family law. He knows the various means and legal mechanisms for enforcing a child support obligation. This includes such actions as the following:

• Seeking contempt, which includes up to six months in jail and/or up to a $500 fine for the offending party
• Seeking a license suspension, which includes all state-issued licenses, not just drivers' licenses
• Filing of liens against one's property or bank accounts
• Issuing withholding orders to the payer's employer, so the money comes directly out of his or her paycheck
