What is purging a civil contempt order?

A Civil Contempt Order is an Order of the Court finding that you have not complied with some act that the Court required of you. As a result of the non-compliance, the Court holds you in Civil Contempt and punishes you -- usually monetarily or by jail time, but suspends the punishment for a period of time, giving you the opportunity to "purge" yourself of the contempt by doing what the Court requires of you, for instance, by appearing for deposition. If you do what the court requires of you within the time allotted by the Court, you have "purged" yourself of contempt.

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.
