Contempt Actions

Contempt of court occurs when someone purposely does not follow a court order. In family law cases, court orders often regulate the conduct of the parties. Child support and maintenance orders are common family law court orders. Orders involving parenting schedules and other child related matters are too. If you are divorced, the terms of your Marital Settlement Agreement are court orders. As are the terms of your Allocation (Custody) Judgment. If your ex-spouse is not following the terms of your divorce then a judge can hold him/her in contempt of court. This process starts by filing a petition to hold your ex in contempt of court.
