Are you asking, "Is contempt of an order to repay someone for property criminal or civil?" If yes - - it means what it implies - - if you refuse/fail to pay you are in contempt of the COURT'S Order.

While contempt of court may be either civil or criminal contempt, there is no "degree" in the same way that there are degrees of crimes in general. It is uniquely withing the jurisdiction of the court in which the contempt occurs to determine an appropriate punishment or remedy for either civil or criminal contempt. In a way, as far as contempt of court goes, the court truly is judge, jury and executioner.

Contempt is generally categorized as a legal charge that arises when a person disobeys or shows disrespect for the authority of a court or legislative body. It can be classified as either civil or criminal contempt. Civil contempt aims to compel compliance with a court order, while criminal contempt serves to punish behavior that disobeys or undermines the court's authority. Both types can result in penalties such as fines or imprisonment.
