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.
Contempt: A court may hold a parent who violates a custody order in contempt of court, which allows the court to impose various penalties, such as up to six months of imprisonment, a fine of up to $500, suspension/revocation of driving privileges, or an award of the other parents legal fees and costs.
Possible strategies include: Claiming Unawareness: Arguing that you were unaware that your behavior was considered contemptuous could lead to a dismissal of charges. Necessity or Self-Defense: Demonstrating that your actions were out of necessity or self-defense may lead to an acquittal.
