If you were ordered by a judge, or via a court order, to do certain things by a certain time - and you don't do it, yes, you can be found in contempt for violating a court order. If you are just failing to fulfill an administrative requirement of the law, no, not contempt.

You need to check your states laws. In the state of Washington, if you take it in front of a child support officer, they can write up the paperwork. If both parties agree, they will get a judge's signature. Then you have to provide proof, that the payment, in full, has been made.
Where can you get the forms for filing contempt charges?
"Contempt" in a legal sense, covers not only holding the court up to disdain, but also the disobedience of a court order or an act which can impede the administration of justice. Criminal contempt is considered an offense against society, such as interfering with court proceedings or denigrating the dignity of the court. Unless you are a judge you won't be "filing contempt charges".In the civil courts a person may be found in contempt for failing to follow a court order (such as non-paymentof child support), but the court still brings the contempt charge. If the issue you wish to address involves a civil charge, go back to the court that issued the original order (whatever the person is in contempt of). The clerk of the court should be able to provide you with the paperwork necessary to address your issue.
