Contempt

You may want to consider a contempt action when the other party refuses to comply with a court order. Sometimes this is the only way to show the other party that you are serious, and they need to fulfill their obligation. If the other party is found in contempt of a lawful court order, the court may order them to pay your attorney fees and costs, issue a money judgement, order makeup time, and in more egregious circumstances, they can order the other person to serve jail time in an effort to coerce compliance with the court order. If you are in a situation where the other person is not obeying the court order or you are being accused of disobeying a court order, we would be happy to discuss your case to determine if a contempt action is right for you or to help defend you if an action has been filed against you.

"Mr Yetter was hired specifically to represent me in a contentious divorce with parenting plan/support complexities. During our consultation appointment, he listened intently with compassion. Asked thoughtful, pertinent questions and laid out a progression plan. There were multiple court, mediation appointments. He was always present and prepared. No litigation is easy, but I've found his willingness to be flexible and pivot quickly under time constraints to be a reassuring quality." Melanie

"I hired Mr. Yetter, in a tough time in my life. He was both understanding and knowledgeable. I would use him again in a heartbeat." Donald

"Matt Yetter expertly and with sensitivity helped me prepare for and surmount a challenging divorce, where I initially felt overwhelmed and outgunned. Matt was patient and empathic, assisting me to establish and maintain goals that served my best interests and that were ethical to both parties. Despite my presenting challenges as a client (strongly felt emotions and ambivalence), Matt deftly and compassionately guided me through legal, situational and personal steps to achieve all desired ends to my satisfaction."
