People violate family law orders for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps the most common cases of these violations concern child visitation and the failure to pay child support.

Parents of children with custody and visitation orders must understand that they need to follow the visitation schedule outlined in their order. Sometimes a parent will withhold visitation because they have not received their child support payment or an alimony payment.
