Contempt of Court:
If there is an existing court order or judgment entry, and if the person ordered to do something, (such as paying child support or paying the mortgage), has failed to do it, that person is probably in contempt of court. A contempt charge requires the filing of a contempt motion, affidavit, hearing date, and the service of the documents on the person alleged to be in contempt. A filing fee is required which varies depending upon the court. [see chart] However, if a person is found in contempt, usually the court will order that person to pay reasonable attorney fees. ($350 to $1,000)
To file a contempt charge, you need to complete the New Client Intake Form, speak with an attorney, provide the office with a copy of the order, and execute an affidavit before a notary public -- and pay the fees. If you can scan the order into your computer, then you can email a copy of the order to this firm, together with any document that documents the failure to do what was ordered.
For example, if the failure is failure to pay child support, you need a copy of the order and a copy of your account with the local Child Support Enforcement Agency, (CSEA).
If the failure is the failure to pay mortgage, then you need a statement from mortgage company, together with the order.
Fees: Simple Contempt, no court appearance: $250 (you will be representing yourself).
