A: If you have an order that is not being followed you should speak with an attorney and provide them with more information, so they can advise you on the next steps. Because what you do next depends on where the order originated, where the parties reside now, what allegations of contempt are being made, if you are seeking a contempt order or if a modification is necessary, etc. Speak directly with an attorney so you can provide more facts and get actual informed advice.
