It depends on the court and the jurisdiction. You can be fined or jailed for the contempt, and the court can order someone else to take the child for the test.

Why does judge Taylor not hold mayella in contempt of court?

Judge Taylor does not hold Mayella in contempt of court because she is considered a victim in the trial, not a perpetrator. Mayella Ewell is seen as a vulnerable young girl who has been taken advantage of by her father, Bob Ewell, and is not seen as culpable for her actions.


What are the actions taken for contempt of court?

It depends what the contempt charge is for. If it is minor, there may be a fine. If the contempt is contingent upon providing information, one can be held in jail without bail until the information is provided. A mother once spent months in jail after sending her minor child away (out of state through a secret network) to protect her from an abusive father. The mother was eventually released and the mother and child moved to Australia until the child was 18 and visitation was no longer an issue. The fine can be as little as a few dollars, to thousands of dollars. Jail time can be indefinite.

Can you get your child back at 17yrs old when your mother had it taken from you with a Court Order?

Not likely. The child is 17 and if there was a Court order, the Court found some reason to allow the child to leave. At 17, a child may instruct the Court as to where he/she wants to live and why. You should still have visitation rights, even if the child is out of state.
