Best Answer

Yes.

There is criminal and civil contempt of court. An example of criminal contempt is yelling at the judge or otherwise interfering with the ability of the court to function properly. Civil contempt is when a person willfully disobeys a court order. Fines and jail in civil contempt is generally not intended to punish--it is designed to motivate. A person is typically released as soon as they comply with the court order.

Can my ex not let me see my kids if I have court ordered paramount custody?

Of course not. Your ex does not have the power to defy a court order. Paramount custody is an indefinite term. Look at your custody order and see what it says. If you have legal custody and your ex is keeping the children from you then get your court orders handy and call the police. Ask the police to escort you to pick the children up. He has no right to do that and he is in contempt of a court order. You should also consult with an attorney or court advocate about pursuing the matter in court.Of course not.
