For Advice on Enforcement of Child Support and Alimony Orders, Contact H. Steven Byers, Attorney at Law & Mediator
The divorce process is sometimes lengthy and complex. Spouses walk away from family law court with the decree in hand, often assuming that it is final. However, while the "piece of paper" may spell out what the courts expect of each party in the divorce, it cannot make someone pay spousal support, pay child support or honor stipulations in the divorce decree such as sale of the house and distribution of the proceeds.
In these and similar circumstances, Texans who have been through divorce or child custody proceedings contact the law offices of H. Steven Byers, Attorney at Law & Mediator in search of counsel and representation in enforcement matters after the court orders have been finalized.
Our law firm welcomes inquiries from individuals with family law concerns such as the following:
- Your former husband or wife is not paying child support fully or on time as ordered by the court.
- Your former husband or wife is effectively blocking visitation of your children that you are entitled to by being unavailable, not answering the phone or otherwise putting obstacles in your way when you try to see your son or daughter.
- Your ex-spouse was ordered to sell real estate, recreational equipment or other expensive items and deliver a percentage of the proceeds to you. The house or boat has not been sold after a reasonable period of time — and you suspect that your "ex" is not making a good-faith effort to market and sell the house, boat or jewelry as ordered by the divorce decree.

Sometimes it is necessary to go back to court to ask for assistance in enforcement of child support, spousal support, child custody or visitation.
