Michigan Judgment of Contempt is a legal remedy used to enforce a court order. A judgment of contempt is a court order that finds a person in violation of a court order, and orders that person to take certain actions or be subject to certain penalties. There are two types of Michigan Judgment of Contempt: civil contempt and criminal contempt. Civil contempt is used to enforce a court order, such as an order to pay child support or other court-ordered payments. Criminal contempt is used to punish a person who has willfully disobeyed a court order. If a person is found in contempt, the court can order that person to pay a fine, serve jail time, or take other action as punishment.
