Illinois Order of Adjudication (Indirect Civil Contempt) is the legal process in which a court issues an order or judgment to punish an individual for the violation of a prior court order. This type of contempt occurs when a person willfully disobeys a court order, which can be either criminal or civil in nature. Depending on the type of order violated, the consequences of contempt can range from fines to imprisonment. There are two types of Illinois Order of Adjudication (Indirect Civil Contempt): direct and indirect. Direct contempt occurs when an individual refuses to comply with a court order while in the presence of a judge, while indirect contempt occurs when an individual fails to comply with a court order outside the presence of a judge. In both cases, the court must issue an Order of Adjudication (Indirect Civil Contempt) to punish the individual for their violation. The Order of Adjudication (Indirect Civil Contempt) is an official document that outlines the violation, the consequences of the violation, and the individual's rights. In Illinois, a person found in contempt may be ordered to pay a fine, serve a jail sentence, or perform some other form of service to the court. The court may also require the individual to comply with the court order and/or take steps to ensure the violation does not occur again.
