Re: Incarceration for contempt

The penalties for willful contempt can include up to a year in jail, $1,500 fine, 300 hours of community service, or any combination of those items.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
