Do You Have a Case for Contempt of Court? 2 Things to Consider Before Taking Action Even when both parties are amicable and cooperative, divorces are unpleasant affairs. But when one ex-spouse refuses to abide by court orders, violating their past partner’s trust by denying visitation, failing to pay child support, or exposing children to a paramour or other improper situation, things can get downright messy. If you’re the wronged party in such a situation, you may be able to take action for contempt of court, which, in South Carolina, means filing a Rule to Show Cause. Contempt of court is a way to hold your ex- partner accountable for their actions, and it’s generally considered a smart decision because letting violations go unchecked can lead to more misconduct in the future. A successful contempt action in South Carolina Family Court can result in penalties as severe as a year in jail, a $1,500 fine, 300 hours of community service, or a combination of the three. To maximize your chances of success in a contempt action, check off these two things before asking your lawyer to approach a judge. 1. A Family Court Order Has Been Violated A violation of your trust alone isn’t grounds for contempt of court. Rather, your ex-spouse needs to flout an actual court order handed down by a judge to be found in contempt. If you’re unsure of whether what they’ve done would be considered a violation, consult your family law attorney. 2. You Can Prove ‘Willful’ Contempt It’s vital for a contempt action to provide proof that a violation took place. For example, to prove a denial of visitation, you might take a witness with you to the visitation exchange site at the designated time to confirm that your child didn’t appear for the visitation period. It’s also necessary to prove that the violation was “willful” — meaning your ex-spouse intentionally violated the order and wasn’t forced to by circumstances outside of their control. If you’d like to start a contempt action but are unsure of whether you have a case or how to proceed, call The Stevens Firm today. Our experienced family law attorneys will be happy to help.
