Contempt of Court for Other Orders in Snohomish County

← Back to All Contempt Services

Contempt of court may apply when a person fails to follow a valid court order that does not involve child support or a parenting plan. We prepare document packets to help present the issue clearly and accurately to the court.

Examples of other court orders that may involve contempt

  • Failure to comply with financial or property-related court orders
  • Violation of court-imposed restrictions or directives
  • Failure to complete court-ordered actions or requirements
  • Noncompliance with temporary or final family law orders

How contempt cases typically work

The court reviews whether a valid order exists, whether the person knew about the order, and whether the failure to comply was willful. Proper documentation and clear presentation are critical.

Documents we prepare

  • Motion or petition for contempt (as applicable)
  • Declarations explaining the alleged noncompliance
  • Proposed order
  • Exhibit organization (court orders, timelines, records)
  • Service packets if service is required

What to gather before we prepare your paperwork

  • A copy of the court order that was not followed
  • Dates and details showing how the order was violated
  • Any written communication related to the issue
  • Relevant supporting documents
