Do I need a lawyer to ask for a contempt order? You dont need an attorney to file a Motion for Contempt, but it is a good idea to have one.
They are: (1) misbehavior of a person; (2) in or near to the presence of the court; (3) which obstructs the administration of justice; and (4) which is committed with the required degree of criminal intent.
Filing a motion to enforce requires attention to detail. First, youll need to gather all the necessary documentation. This includes a copy of the original court order and any evidence showing that the other party has not complied with it.
If the other parent doesnt obey a court order, you can file a form with the court called a Motion for Contempt. This motion asks the court to hold a hearing where the other parent will have to explain why they arent following the court order(s).
You must explain what the other party has failed to do. This form must be signed before a notary public and a copy must be furnished to the other party by mail, fax and mail, or hand delivery. If you want to be sure of service, the motion should be personally served by a sheriff or process server.
