Whether the issue is unpaid support, denied parenting time, or noncompliance with court orders, we’ll help you pursue meaningful enforcement remedies that put you back on solid ground.
Common Violations Of Oregon Family Law Orders
Unfortunately, parties sometimes fail to comply with legally binding family court orders. Common violations include:
- Failure to pay child support

- Violations of parenting time or interference with visitation
- Overstepping legal decision-making authority under a custody order

Oregon law provides several avenues to enforce a family court order. These may include:
- Filing a motion to enforce in the appropriate county court
- Contempt proceedings, which can result in penalties for the noncompliant party
- Administrative enforcement of child support through the Oregon Child Support Program
Our attorneys will walk you through your options and help you choose the enforcement mechanism that best aligns with your goals and the urgency of the situation.
