Contempt/Rule Nisi Petitions

Whether it is a spouse not paying child support, violating the terms of visitation, or refusing to make alimony/spousal-support payments (to name a few), it is important to have a skillful lawyer to ensure agreements and/or judgments are being followed.

In addition, often times Dixon Law can not only obtain retribution, but also procure attorney's fees from the opposing party.
