What Is A Motion/Petition For Contempt?
A party may file a Motion or Petition for Contempt when the other party knows there is a court order setting out their responsibilities, but they fail to comply. Examples are as follows:
- One parent fails to meet their court-ordered child support obligations.
- One parent fails to comply with the provisions of the Parenting Plan.
- One party fails to meet their alimony/spousal support obligations.
- One party fails to effectuate the terms of a Marital Dissolution Agreement such as transferring title of a parcel of property, a vehicle, a retirement account, etc.
Filing a Motion/Petition for Contempt is asking the judge to acknowledge that the other parent disobeyed the court order and that they need to be reprimanded or punished so you can be made whole.
