Welcome to the Child Support Enforcement and Contempt Resources web page. This page is intended as a resource for counsel appointed to represent respondents in proceedings where contempt is sought to enforce a child support, or other court ordered, obligation. In addition to this page, we provide training programs, consultation to attorneys and a listserv. Our office is also responsible for evaluating and assigning appeals in civil contempt proceedings to qualified appellate attorneys including assistant appellate defenders within the Office of the Parent Defender.
Additionally, the Office of Indigent Defense Services and the UNC School of Government collaborate to create quality, cost-effective indigent defense education, including innovative training programs, manuals, and online resources to ensure that indigent defenders have the qualifications, training, and support they need to be effective.
