To show cause for contempt of court, a party must demonstrate that the other party willfully disobeyed a court order. This typically involves providing evidence that a clear and specific order was issued, the party had knowledge of the order, and they failed to comply without a valid excuse. Documentation, witness testimony, or other relevant evidence can support the claim. The burden of proof generally lies with the party alleging contempt.

Order to show cause and writ of body attachment how are they related?
An order to show cause is an order by the court requesting the party to show why it should not be held in contempt of court for failure to show to a prior proceeding. If the party does not respond to the order to show cause, the court can issue a writ of body attachment. A writ of body attachment works like a warrant, and allows the sheriff to haul the person to court or jail for failure to appear, often requiring bond before release. If you get an order to show cause, show up to avoid possible jail time and bond costs. See: http://www.19thcircuitcourt.state.il.us/rules/rules15.htm#1505
