FAQ
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.
What are the consequences of being found in contempt? A party found in contempt can be required to pay the other party's attorney fees and sometimes can be jailed for a contempt finding, in addition to being forced to comply with the court orders.
When a party is found in contempt of court, the court can impose a variety of sanctions. These can include fines, jail time, and even the loss of parental rights. The court may also order the party to pay the other party's attorney's fees and court costs.
A criminal act which at the same time constitutes contempt of court, and has been punished as such, may also be punished as a crime, but in such case the punishment for contempt may be considered in mitigation.
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.
