Contempt actions refer not only to the open display of disrespect or disruptive behavior in the courtroom, but it also refers to the penalty for a party’s willful and continuing failure to obey a clear and unequivocal order of the court.

Complaints for Contempt can also be used to help enforce the terms of child support or alimony, the use of children to pass messages to the other parent, or any other issue that indicates a willful violation of a court order.
