Answer:
When a court order isn't followed, a petition for contempt may be filed in the court that issued the order. The court retains continuing jurisdiction to enforce its orders by holding the noncomplying party in contempt of court.
It is possible to have a support order modified for a significant change in circumstances. In some instances, the court will consider the contributions to living expenses made by a person cohabiting with obligee as a significant change of circumstances to warrant a modification of a support order. However, a party may not modify or void a court order of support on his own. A change or cessation of payments under a support order must be ordered by the court.
