Legal Question in Family Law in California

file to set a contempt hearing with the court.

I usually file an affidavit of facts constituting contempt, and have the court issue an OSC re: contempt.

Contempt is a difficult process and the other party must be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, with many issues of proof other than that they violated the court order. The most practical solution is to file a motion to modify the court order based upon the lack of cooperation of the other parent. That is more likely to get you where you want to go. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
