Typically it is a misdemeanor. However, the judge can order you held in jail as long as the contempt is ongoing.
yes
Neither - civil penalties are not classified as misdemeanors or felonies. It is simply "contempt of court" for which you can be fined (but rarely jailed).

Rather than list the address and contact information for each one, I've provided a link to a Court Reference site that lists the address of every court in Maricopa County, along with contact information and links to various legal resources within Maricopa County. This is actually a great website for these types of questions in general - they have information for pretty much every trial court in the US!
I have applied for a job that checks your background for felony and misdemeanor charges. I recently found that I have a contempt of court fine for a seat belt ticket in NJ. Is this a misdemeanor?
Neither. Government Code section 21.002, Contempt of Court, does not classify contempt at all, although the punishments are consistent with a misdemeanor rather than a felony, except that in cases a contemner may be confined for a period not exceeding 18 months.
It depends on whether it is a criminal case or a cvil case and what act constituted the contempt action.

You would need to go to the county courthouse where you received the misdemeanor to request it be expunged.
Except for a handful of forms available online at the first related link below, you need to visit the clerk of court (District Clerk for District Court, County Clerk for County Court at Law) office. Office locations for all Bexar County courts are at the second related link. Bear in mind that there is probably no such thing as a "contempt of court form" because contempt of court is a sanction imposed by the judge; it is a court order, not a "form". But it won't hurt to ask the appropriate clerk's office.
