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.
