- Category: Contempt
- Date:
- State: North Carolina
Answer:
If a court order is not followed, you can file a motion for contempt in the court that issued the order. The court has the authority to enforce its orders by holding the noncompliant party in contempt. In some situations, especially in divorce cases, you may file a motion to show cause. The responding party must reply, and a hearing will be scheduled to decide if the court should find the person in contempt. It's advisable to consult a local attorney who can review your specific situation and documents.
