Defining Contempt of Court or Enforced Action

Some of the actions which would be counted as an example of contempt of court include:

  • Refusing to make the correct payments for child support
  • Refusing to make the correct payments for spousal support
  • Failing to cooperate with the transfer of any property from the marriage
  • Not following the terms of a shared parenting plan

Your attorney must prove that your former spouse or partner was completely knowledgeable of the court order and was entirely capable of fulfilling it, but persisted in willfully breaking the order anyway.

Penalties for Contempt of Court

There can be severe penalties for refusing to comply with the orders that have been issued by the court. These include criminal as well as civil charges, with punishments such as attorney fees to the aggrieved party, fines and even jail time. Some offenders can be in danger of losing parenting time or custody rights.
