The only one who can file a contempt motion is either the Defendant or Plaintiff.

Motion for Contempt is filed when the conditions of a court order have NOT been met and it is a request for immediate (as immediate as you can get through the courts) resolution.

Where can you get the forms for filing contempt charges?

"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-paymentof 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.
