Going through a divorce is probably the most devastating event two people can go through. It’s not only dissolving an emotional relationship between two people, but it’s also splitting up a family. It requires numerous determinations regarding child custody, support, and property and asset division.
Contempt of court comes into play when one party does not comply with a court order – when he or she violates the court order. When an individual is found guilty of being in contempt of court, he or she is subject to consequences, such as fines and/or jail time.
