That depends on the order, some orders are time limited. In general terms though these orders stand until they are complied with. For Example: If a court orders you to cut down a tree, finds you are in contempt for refusing to cut down the tree - the order stands until you cut down the tree (or cause it to be cut down) OR upon order of the court the court orders it cut down and billed to you.

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.

Contempt of court of custody agreement?

If the mother does not give the children to the father on his court appointed scheduled time then she is contempt of court. If the father does not bring the children back when the court document specifies that he has to, then he is contempt of court. If the father does not pick the children up on his court appointed scheduled time, he is NOT in contempt of court. It is the father's right, not his obligation. If the father is paying child support then he is not obligated to do more. To go about filing for contempt you have to have a lawyer file a document stating one parent was in contempt of court. This costs around $200 (in the state of Iowa at least). Once the document is filed the parent will be served and have to appear in court stating why the kids were not given on the scheduled time. The court does not usually find the parent in contempt if this has happened just once, it usually has to happen three or more times before the parent is considered in contempt of court.
