Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
civil contempt of court
I was required by the court to sign a quit claim deed.I was given no time requirements.I was notified by my wifes atty. that they had one for me to come in and sign.This seemed unusal to me since everything else i have received from them has been by correspondence.So i have been waiting to receive something by mail.All I received was a summons for civil contempt of court.The atty. said i refused to sign it.They also said they contacted me several times by phone but i never responded.Both statements are untrue and contradictory.I have no atty. What can i say in court to help the judge appreciate I have simply been waiting to be contacted according to previous practices?

You can say to the judge what you say here.
Although you were asked to sign the deed and didn't do it, therefore triggering a contempt charge, you can still sign and avoid the charge. All they want if the deed signed...
