The failure to pay child support is a serious matter. However, it is a separate issue from the parenting plan and child support order, which may determine the other parent's visitation rights. If the other parent is not fulfilling their child support obligations, you can seek other enforcement methods through the court.
Shannon Ort was an excellent Family Law Attorney. She was professional but yet personal. She was soothing when things felt scary and uncertain. The most important part of my divorce was the health and safety of my children and she kept my case moving along very swiftly to come to a quick resolution.

We had a difficult time finding an attorney appropriate for our situation, but our search ended when we met Jodi. She listened to our story and seemed to immediately understand the personality we were dealing with. Her office staff was all-around efficient, friendly, and helpful when I had any questions. I have especially appreciated Jodi's natural ability to filter responses of the OP to me and to join me in my fight for what's best for my children. She has been just what we needed in an attorney to achieve the security we were looking for.

Jodi and her staff are exceptional and unwavering in what they stand for and are about. They provide superior legal advice that is backed by law (not opinion). Could not recommend them highly enough. They remained consistent, focused and spoke to me in terms I could understand.

I had the unfortunate experience of being involved in a high conflict divorce.
My initial attorney was not particularly responsive and she seemed more interested in making sure that my ex's lifestyle was maintained post-divorce than discussing/protecting my lifestyle post-divorce. My initial attorney was also not particularly responsive, as several very important questions that I had emailed to her went unanswered.
When I decided to retain a new attorney, a friend strongly recommended Jody Terzich based on his very positive experience with his high conflict divorce. I called Jody, but she was

I have been on my divorce process for over a year. Jodi T was completely unprofessional, no responsive, and providedtprovided poor advicw. At times I felt I was battling two lawyers ( my own and my ex's lawyer). I spent upper $30ks and did not even finalize my divorce with Jodi. I had to changed lawyers to obtain results. I then hire Jack Waltz and got divorce within few weeks. If you go with this firm stay away from Jodi. I worked for Google and deal with lawyers a lot and I have never seen such a lack of professionalism and advocacy, no to mention the mistakes made in my case that led to setting

Kaitlyn was so great to work with. She was easy to talk to, very thorough, supportive, and knowledgeable. This was the third attorney I hired since I divorced my ex-wife in 2016, and I wish I could have started with her initially. I'll continue to retain her whenever I need an attorney.

Shannon Ort is well respected, professional and composed, yet compassionate and approachable at the same time. She handled my case, and fought harder for me than I fought for myself at times. I don't recommend divorce, BUT, I do recommend Shannon and her team without reservation. She was able to explain things to me in ways that made the whole process less daunting. She persevered and showed great patience and restraint when needed. And got me to do the same!
