You may be one of many Americans living in Ohio who has gone through a divorce, dissolution, legal separation, or annulment and there is a court order establishing your respective rights and responsibilities after the ending of the marriage. Perhaps you have a child out of wedlock and have gone through court litigation establishing your parental rights and responsibilities. Some of the rights and responsibilities a court may order include child custody, visitation, parenting time, child support, spousal support, and the paying of certain debts. When the other party does not fulfill their obligations you may file a motion for contempt of court. It can be frustrating when the court grants you visitation or support and the other party fails to comply. Hiring an experienced Columbus Ohio Family Law Lawyer would be a good idea so that you may hold the other party accountable for their actions and to get what you are entitled to. Attorney fees could be paid by the other party if found guilty of contempt of court.

Working with the court system is not an easy task to complete on your own. There are local rules and procedures that you must abide by.
