Legal Question in Family Law in California
Contempt Proceedings
If you have filed a contempt proceeding against an ex-husband and/or his employer, how successful were you in obtaining support. Exactly what do the courts look for when reviewing the paperwork. Is it also a good idea to submit P&A's with the OSC and Affidavit of Facts Constituting contempt. Will the entire issue be brushed off by the judge since I am an in pro per petitioner or do they just automatically assume that I will not proceed with the paperwork. Any advice would be most helpful as I need to file my paperwork by this Friday since I have given the employer over 30 days to comply with the modified wage & assignment order. Thanks for your help.

Re: Contempt Proceedings
By all means go forward. P&A's usually not necessary. Judges do not like to put people in jail (the remedy for contempt) so it is likely the employer will get a second chance. What do you have to lose? You need to prove employer was properly served with the correct papers.
