"Contempt" in a legal sense, covers not only holding the court up to disdain, but also the disobedience of a court order or an act which can impede the administration of justice. Criminal contempt is considered an offense against society, such as interfering with court proceedings or denigrating the dignity of the court. Unless you are a judge you won't be "filing contempt charges".


In the civil courts a person may be found in contempt for failing to follow a court order (such as non-payment

of child support), but the court still brings the contempt charge. If the issue you wish to address involves a civil charge, go back to the court that issued the original order (whatever the person is in contempt of). The clerk of the court should be able to provide you with the paperwork necessary to address your issue.

Is there a deposition for filing contempt of court?

Yes, a deposition can be part of the process for filing contempt of court, but it is not always required. A deposition is a formal statement taken under oath, which can help gather evidence to support the claim of contempt. However, the filing itself typically requires a motion that outlines the alleged contemptuous behavior, along with supporting documentation or evidence. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional to understand the specific requirements in your jurisdiction.

A mother continuously violates court orders by failing to obey the visitation order and refusing to allow the father to see the children. What can the father do?

The court can change the custody order and take primary custody away from the mother. The father should stay on top of the situation by filing a motion for contempt of a court order (visitation) and every time she violates the visitation order he should keep filing motions for contempt. She may eventually lose custody.The court can change the custody order and take primary custody away from the mother.
