Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My husband has taken his ex-wife back to court for contempt for interference and failure to pay her half of the medical bills and modification of the parenting plan back in April, we have turned in all of our paperwork she has not. We were scheduled for mediation back in October and she failed to show. We also filed a motion to compel disclosure in October which she has not done yet, and her attorney withdrew. The lawyer has filed a motion to disposition of mediation conference which we are still waiting to hear on, what can be done to get her to file her disclosure information? Can contempt charges be filed for this as well? It's getting ridiculous since she is basically non-complaint with anything that is required of her. We are pretty sure that the reason that she has not filed her disclosure information is that she has not been working for the majority of the year and cannot show how she is paying for everything.

If she fails to show again, you can have her declared in contempt of court and have a writ of bodily attachment issued. Once she is picked up you can request that she can redeem herself by supplying the information and/or documents requested or remain in the custody of the court until she does.
