Answer & Contempt Defenses Once a party has been served with a motion for contempt, he or she has thirty (30) days to answer or to respond to the motion.
If the contempt is on Non-Payment of Child Support, Alimony or Medical expenses, the filing fee is waived. If the contempt is on any other item, the filing fee is $58.00, payable in Cash, Check or Credit Card (Credit Cards will have an additional convenience fee).
Any court, including a family support magistrate, may punish by fine and imprisonment any person who in its presence behaves contemptuously or in a disorderly manner; but no court or family support magistrate may impose a greater fine than one hundred dollars or a longer term of imprisonment than six months or both.
Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) Rule 70, a party that fails to perform a specific act, in ance with a judgment by a court, can be charged with contempt and subsequently penalized.
After filing, the motion must be served to the opposing party, providing them with an opportunity to respond. The court then schedules a hearing where both parties present their arguments. Proving contempt of court requires clear and convincing evidence that the respondent has willfully violated a court order.
