Lawyers Defuse Post-Divorce Contempt Threat

Colorado treats contempt of court seriously. Violating orders or disrupting proceedings can lead to fines and jail time.

Our client faced contempt charges for missing spousal maintenance payments due to unexpected expenses incurred by his ex-wife. 

When his ex-wife filed contempt charges, our Family Law Team quickly stepped in to negotiate. We aimed to avoid a court hearing that could result in severe penalties for our client. Fortunately, skillful negotiation and deep knowledge of Colorado family law led to a settlement that addressed all the financial issues and removed the threat of contempt charges.

The case highlights the value of experienced legal counsel in handling post-divorce financial matters.
