Have you been served contempt of court documents, or do you need to serve the other party? Either way, King County Paralegal Services can help you prepare your case and child support contempt documents.
When child support is not paid as ordered, enforcement may escalate beyond administrative collection efforts. Contempt of court is used to compel compliance with an existing child support order when other methods have failed.
Our paralegals prepare child support contempt documents for cases involving unpaid support and other support-related obligations. When a court finds a parent in contempt for failure to pay child support in Washington State, the court may impose penalties or require specific actions to bring the parent into compliance.
If you have been served with an order to show cause for contempt and believe you are not in contempt, proper preparation is critical. Clear documentation and accurate presentation of facts are essential when responding to enforcement actions.
Contempt proceedings may also arise when a parent fails to pay additional expenses required by the child support order, beyond the monthly transfer payment. These enforcement actions are commonly used to collect unpaid support or related obligations.
