When Should I File a Motion for Contempt?

A Motion for Contempt should be filed against the party whenever he or she has willfully refused to abide by an existing Court Order.

In family law matters, this motion applies when a party fails to pay the ordered amount of child support or refuses to allow the other parent court-ordered visitation.

Consequences can be serious — including findings of contempt, fines, and in some cases jail time. If you are dealing with a party who is willfully ignoring a Court Order, do not wait.
