Contempt of Court Attorney Serving Vancouver, Washington

Contempt occurs when a court order is willfully and wantonly disobeyed. Willful and wanton are legal terms, so it's best to consult an attorney to determine if these terms apply to your case.

A motion for contempt can be filed for various reasons, such as interference with parenting time, failure to pay child support, and more. Defending against a contempt action requires understanding the reasons behind the failure to comply with the court order. For example, not paying the total child support may not be considered contempt if the court finds that the person has made their best efforts to pay. An attorney can assist in proving that the violation was not done willfully.

We understand that the issues surrounding contempt can be challenging and emotional, and we are here to provide the support and guidance you need.
