Upon responding to a motion for contempt, a defendant may either lodge a defense or he or she may purge the contempt by complying with the court's order and remedying any past due support obligations. The defendant responds by filing an answer. The answer may contain defenses against the contempt action.
The Motion must be EFiled. You can come into the Clerks office to use an EFile hub provided at no additional cost. PAYING THE FILING FEE: If the contempt is on Non-Payment of Child Support, Alimony or Medical expenses, the filing fee is waived.
The Process of Filing for Contempt The motion explains to the court what the order that has been violated states, and how the other party is violating the order. The motion asks the court to order the other party to appear in court and show cause why he or she should not be punished for disobeying the court's order.
Contempt proceedings can be initiated either by filing an application or by the court itself suo moto. In both the cases, contempt proceedings must be initiated within one year from the date on which contempt is alleged to have been committed.
You must explain what the other party has failed to do. This form must be signed before a notary public and a copy must be furnished to the other party by mail, fax and mail, or hand delivery. If you want to be sure of service, the motion should be personally served by a sheriff or process server.
