When a defendant is in contempt of a court order and his 42 days for filing an appeal have passed what can be done legally to properly enforce the original court order signed by the Judge?
If the defendant in the case has not exercised their right of appeal, then they have defaulted on their privilege to do so, then the original order of the court becomes fully enforceable. If this is a civil court judgement, there is no option except to file a motion for civil contempt (of the judge's original order) with the court, and getting the other party back to court for a hearing.

How much time would you serve if you were convicted of contempt of court in Cuyahoga county Ohio?
A court can only punish a criminal contempt up to 179 days, and $500 without a jury trial. Anything more than that requires a trial with a jury. See, Otis v. Meade, 483 S.W.2d 161 (Ky. 1972). However, on civil contempt, a Court can hold someone indefinitely in jail until they agree to obey the Court's Order. As the Supreme Court said in Commonwealth v. Burge, "While one may be sentenced to jail for civil contempt, it is said that the contemptuous one carries the keys to the jail in his pocket, because he is entitled to immediate release upon his obedience to the court's order" See, 947 S.W.2d 805, 808 (1996).

How do you divorce an illegal immigrant who went back to Mexico 2 years ago?
If you get a lawyer, he will explain that you can get a divorce from anybody and that they do not have to be present at the court hearing. A summons will be sent to him and if not found in a certain amount of time you can run an ad in a local paper for so many days or weeks. Once the court date comes around and the person does not show up in court, the judge will grant you the divorce and this person will still have to file for a divorce from you when they decide that they want to be divorced from you. In other words you will be divorce from them but they will not be divorced from you.
