San Antonio Child Support & Visitation Enforcement Lawyer

When a parent refuses to follow a court order — whether it involves child support, custody, or visitation — the court has the power to enforce the order and impose serious penalties. If you are being denied visitation or are owed back child support, you do not have to handle it alone.

We represent parents in San Antonio, Bexar County, New Braunfels, Seguin, and surrounding areas in enforcement actions related to:

• Child support
• Visitation and possession
• Conservatorship rights
• Medical support
• Property or financial obligations in divorce decrees

Enforcement of Visitation in Texas

If the other parent refuses to follow your court-ordered possession schedule, you can request a court enforcement.

Visitation enforcement may be appropriate if the other parent:

• Refuses to surrender the child
• Denies weekend or holiday possession
• Blocks communication or video calls
• Constantly arrives late or ignores the schedule
• Attempts to alienate or interfere with your relationship
• Violates geographic restrictions

Courts take visitation violations seriously and may:

• Order make-up visitation
• Impose fines
• Modify the order
• Hold the other parent in contempt
• Order jail time in severe cases

Enforcement of Child Support

If the other parent is behind on child support, the court can enforce payment through:

• Wage garnishment
• License suspension (driver’s, professional, hunting/fishing)
• Contempt of court
• Payment plans
• Tax refund interception
• Seizure of financial accounts
• Liens against property

We help ensure the arrears amount is accurate and push the case forward quickly.

Defense Against Enforcement Actions (Avoid Jail)

If you have been:

• Served with an enforcement action
• Ordered to appear at a contempt hearing
• Threatened with jail
• Behind on payments

We can defend you. Courts must:

• Ensure arrears amounts are correct
• Consider ability to pay
• Consider reasonable payment plans
• Avoid unconstitutional punishments

We help protect your freedom and negotiate fair outcomes.

How Enforcement Cases Work

Enforcement cases involve:

1. Filing a motion for enforcement
2. Alleging specific violations
3. Serving the other parent
4. Temporary orders if needed
5. A hearing before the judge
6. Possible contempt findings, fines, or jail

We prepare all evidence, testimony, and filings to build the strongest case possible.
