Contempt of court is an act of disobedience or disrespect towards the judicial branch of the government, or an interference with its orderly process. It is an offense against a court of justice or a person to whom the judicial functions of the sovereignty have been delegated.
Beatty Chadwick (born 1936) is the current American record holder for the longest time being held in civil contempt of court, having spent fourteen years in prison.
On the authority of legal guidelines, you can be held for contempt of court until you comply with the court order or for a set term by the judge. The exact time can vary based on the judges discretion and specific case details. The duration can range from a few days to indefinitely if you refuse to comply.
Contempt of court, often referred to simply as contempt, is the crime of being disobedient to or disrespectful toward a court of law and its officers in the form of behavior that opposes or defies the authority, justice, and dignity of the court.
What does in contempt mean? A person may be held in contempt in a number of ways. The legal sense may be defined as willful disobedience to or open disrespect of a court, judge, or legislative body. In a general sense if you hold someone in contempt it simply means that you despise or strongly disapprove of them.

If it is a matter of urgency or the contempt was done in front of a judge, that person can be punished immediately. Punishment can range from the person being imprisoned for a period of less than five years or until the person complies with the order or fine.
