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.


Is you a lawyer is trying to serve papers to someone for contempt what happens?

If a lawyer is trying to serve papers for contempt, they must follow the legal procedures for serving documents, which typically involves delivering the papers to the person named in the contempt order. If successful, the individual will receive notice of the contempt proceedings and be required to respond or appear in court. If the individual cannot be served directly, the lawyer may seek alternative methods, such as service by publication, depending on local laws. Ultimately, the court will determine whether the individual is in contempt based on the evidence presented.
