- Category: Contempt
- Date:
- State: North Carolina
Answer:
When a court order isn't followed, a motion for contempt may be filed in the court that issued the order. The court retains continuing jurisdiction to enforce its orders by holding the noncomplying party in contempt of court.
In some cases, typically involving a divorce, a motion to show cause may be filed. The answering party must respond and a hearing is held to determine whether the court should issue a certain ruling, such as finding the person in contempt of court. I suggest consulting a local attorney who can review all the facts and documents involved.
