Show Cause hearings are very evidentiary based. You must be able to show the judge the ways in which the opposing party has not complied with the order currently in place. If the other side has not complied with the order, they will be found guilty.
The way an order to show cause is initiated, is by filing a motion that has to be accompanied by an affidavit explaining to the court how the other side failed to comply with the courts orders.
An order to show cause (O.S.C.), is a court order or the demand of a judge requiring a party to justify or explain why the court should or should not grant a motion or a relief. For example, if a party requests a restraining order from a judge, the judge may need more information.
Legal Consequences: Failure to respond to a Show Cause Order can result in serious legal consequences, including being held in contempt of court, fines, or other penalties. This underscores the seriousness of the order and the importance of compliance.
On the next court date, there will be a hearing to determine if you have indeed violated a previous written order of the court. If you are unable to show the Court that you have not violated the Order, then you will most likely be held in Contempt of Court.

The Order to Show Cause tells the other side of the nature of the request and states the date, time and location where the request will be made. The Order to Show Cause often contains a direction to the parties that they stop some specific activity until the court hears or decides the motion.
