Court orders that come out of a divorce and define child custody, child support and alimony are legally enforceable.
When a parent fails to pay child support, he or she may face arrest and other legal action. When a parent fails to pay alimony that is owed to a spouse, he or she may face the garnishment of his or her wages. If there is a visitation agreement, and one parent does not live up to that agreement or makes it difficult for the other parent to do so, that may be considered a violation of a court order and legal action may be appropriate.
