FAQ
Go to the clerk's office at the court that made the orders. Give the clerk your completed Motion for Contempt and Appearance forms. The clerk will write a hearing date and time on the motion, sign it, and give it back to you. The hearing date is when you and the other person must go to court.
Except as otherwise provided in NRS 22.110, if a person is found guilty of contempt, a fine may be imposed on the person not exceeding $500 or the person may be imprisoned not exceeding 25 days, or both.
When a Motion to Show Cause for Contempt of Court is filed for an alleged violation of a court order concerning child custody, visitation or support, the contempt may either be charged as CIVIL or CRIMINAL. The petitioner must state whether he or she is asking for a criminal or a civil contempt proceeding.
Possible strategies include: Claiming Unawareness: Arguing that you were unaware that your behavior was considered contemptuous could lead to a dismissal of charges. Necessity or Self-Defense: Demonstrating that your actions were out of necessity or self-defense may lead to an acquittal.
Contempt is a very serious matter and can result in sanctions, fines, or imprisonment. If the other party is violating the order, the judge may come up with solutions other than contempt to get the person to obey the court order.
