This is short for " ... show cause why the other party should not be held in contempt [of court]." In such a hearing, one party claims that the other party has violated a court order and should be required to show why the court should not hold her/him in contempt and, therefore, impose a monetary judgment or some other punishment.

Does there have to be an existing court order to do a Show Cause Order?
Yes - the actual name is, "show cause why the defendant should not be held in contempt."Another View:Not necessarily. Definition follows:"A show cause order is an order of the court, directing a party to a lawsuit to appear on a certain date to show cause why the judge should not issue a specific order or make a certain finding. It is also called an order to show cause or OSC.A show cause order is commonly used in a family law case. The hearing of the show cause order is customarilly not an "evidentiary" hearing. An "evidentiary" hearing is where each of the parties is sworn under oath and takes the witness stand to provide testimony (evidence) to prove the facts for the judge's ruling. But normally at the show cause order hearing the parties have provided their evidence in the form of a written declaration signed under penalty of perjury.In some cases, orders to show cause are filed by a party requesting a court ruling on: child custody, child visitation, child support, spousal support, attorney fees and costs, property restraint, and property control. These are mostly used to modify already-existing orders issued by the court."See below link:
What do I need at an order to show cause re dismissal hearing and who requests this hearing the court or the landlord who I was granted the motion to vacate judgment against?
It depends on who filed the order and what the subject is about.Usually a show cause hearing requires a good argument to support or deny what the hearing is about. You may need evidence and testimony to help support that argument however. And what that is depends on what you have or can get on the issue.But generally a show cause hearing is where you or your opponent must show a good enough reason to the court so they can make a decision. Best way to think of it is to keep this in mind "Show Cause Why this court ..." the issue can be anything connected to the case and/or decisions made by the court. There are rules that govern this but it is far too complicated to go into here.
