When you and your spouse are going through a divorce, it is so much more than dissolving an emotional relationship between two people. Not only are you splitting up a family, you will change your living arrangement and the court will probably make determinations regarding child custody, child support, alimony, property division and asset division. All of these determinations are legal court orders that are set forth by the Florida court system.

If one party doesn’t comply with the court order, he or she is in “contempt of court.” Legally, contempt of court is generally defined as behavior in or out of court that is in violation of a court order. Even if it was an accidental occurrence, it can still be labeled as contempt of court. Of course when a situation gets more serious than a one-time accidental incident, it is in your best interests to speak with a Tampa divorce lawyer for contempt of court issues if your spouse is violating a court order in any way.
