A Law Firm Fighting to Enforce Your Rights
People may think that obtaining the final decree and orders ends the conflict and stress associated with a contentious divorce. Sadly, this is seldom true. Many divorced couples spend a great deal of time, money and psychic energy trying to enforce orders related to child support, custody and parenting time or property division.
A tough litigator on your side
At the Gunnstaks Law Office in Dallas, C. Luke Gunnstaks, our principal attorney is known as a tough litigator who helps clients enforce the rights they were given by the judge. The law provides a number of enforcement mechanisms. We use any and all to protect your rights, including filing contempt motions, obtaining post-divorce judgments and filing petitions to clarify orders.

Typical enforcement problems
Although any issue arising from a divorce decree can become a problem, the most common matters involve child support enforcement and enforcement of a visitation order. Typical issues include:
- A parent refusing to allow visitation as ordered
- A parent not adhering to ordered parenting time schedules
- A parent not making child support payments as ordered
- A parent hiding income to avoid or request increases in child support payments
- A parent removing the child from the area without permission in violation of a child custody order

We do not hesitate to undertake whatever legal action will be most likely to result in the desired outcome.
