The unfortunate truth is that some court orders are not followed, even after the parties have fought long and hard to get custody or to get child support set at a reasonable amount.

When this occurs, the child support and child custody enforcement attorneys at The Milner Law Firm can file an enforcement action on your behalf. An enforcement action is the vehicle to ask the court to force the other party to comply, either through fines, penalties, and even jail time. In some enforcement cases, the party that is not following the court's order may have to pay the other party's attorney's fees.

The attorneys at the Austin-based Milner Law Firm work diligently for their clients to assist them in enforcing previous court orders through enforcement actions.

Like other family law-related matters, enforcement actions can be resolved without the need for court hearings through various alternative dispute resolution methods. Settling outside of court is nearly always less expensive than going to court.

However, our Austin lawyers also recognize that sometimes going to court and getting in front of a judge is the only way enforcement of court orders and other family law-related matters will be resolved. In such situations, our lawyers are ready to assist their clients in being strong courtroom advocates.
