Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Form FL-410, Order to Show Cause and Affidavit for Contempt. It requires an attached affidavit: FL-411 for support, fee, and cost orders, or FL-412 for domestic violence restraining orders and custody and visitation orders.
The form warns that contempt is criminal in nature, with possible jail, community service, and a fine. The person accused of contempt is entitled to an attorney, and the court may appoint one. Because of that, please read the form carefully before filing.
The court says the filer states that the cited party knew of the order and was able to comply. We type in the facts and dates you provide. We cannot decide whether the facts support a contempt finding.
No, the court says the request for order, form FL-300, is not the form for contempt, which uses FL-410. Which filing fits your situation is your decision, and we cannot advise on it.
No, we are not attorneys and cannot represent you in court or appear on your behalf. We prepare paperwork at your specific direction. If you want an attorney, the court's self-help center can explain how to find one.
