To file a motion for contempt in New York, certain criteria must be met. There must be an existing order of the court that is clear and unambiguous, and the accused must be proven to have known about this order and willfully disobeyed it.
In New York, this type of substitute motion is called an "Order to Show Cause." An order to show cause can be heard anytime the court directs, even fewer than the usual eight days, and even as short as a few hours later, if the court is convinced there's a real emergency.
In California, parents have the right to petition for an emergency custody hearing in family court under certain circumstances to protect their child from imminent harm.
Bringing a motion by notice usually gives the other side weeks to respond and sets no real deadline for the court to make a decision. If the movant cannot wait weeks, she may submit an order to show cause, asking the court to set tight deadlines for a response and to make a decision.
An Order to Show Cause is way to present to a judge the reasons why the court should order relief to a party. For example, a party can seek an order granting discovery, or dismissing all or part of an action by bringing an Order to Show Cause.
