Experienced Counsel in Modification and Contempt Proceedings
If your divorce is final and your circumstances have changed, you may be entitled to a modification of the terms of the original divorce judgment. If you are having difficulty receiving child support or seeing your children when you are entitled to visitation, a contempt proceeding can help you use the power of the court to enforce the existing divorce order. In either situation, you want an experienced attorney to protect your interests, one who knows and understands the law and process, and has successfully helped others in similar circumstances.
At Lassiter Legal, we have over 25 years of experience handling family law matters, including contempt proceedings and requests for modification of custody, visitation or support orders. We take an aggressive approach on behalf of our clients, using our extensive trial experience to fully protect your rights. We emphasize communication and responsiveness, working closely with you to keep you fully informed of all developments in your case, as well as your options.

Our Modification Practice
If your children are suffering because of the present visitation schedule or if your custody agreement is no longer workable, you can petition the Court to modify the visitation or custody agreement. If there has been a substantial change in the income of one of the parents, or the needs of the children have changed, you can request a change in the original divorce judgment.
At Lassiter Legal, we handle all matters related to child custody modification, as well as efforts to change visitation or support arrangements. We have worked with hundreds of clients, helping you establish and implement custody, visitation and support agreements that are in the best interests of your minor children while considering your rights as parents. We will provide you with the understanding, support and litigation expertise necessary to make your situation better.
Helping You Enforce a Divorce Decree
If you are having difficulty getting your ex to pay the child support owed to you and your children, or you and your kids are going without because the child support due you isn't being paid, we can help you take the necessary legal action to use the power of the court to collect what is due to you. The proceeding is known as a contempt action and seeks to hold your ex in contempt of court for failure to abide by the terms of your divorce decree.
At Lassiter Legal, we will aggressively represent you in a contempt proceeding, asking the court to issue an order for back support, as well as attorney fees. When appropriate, we will seek civil and/or criminal contempt orders, which may include jail time.
