Contempt

At the end of a case, the court will write an official order with rules that are to be followed by everyone involved in the case. If someone involved does not follow these rules, the other involved person in the case can file a form letting the court know the order is not being followed by the violating person. Look through our self-help forms, videos, and linked resources on Contempt.

Representing yourself in court should not be taken lightly, and there are many reasons why hiring an attorney is a good idea. We suggest that even if you use the forms provided on this site that you still talk to an attorney before submitting the forms to a court to get the best result possible. Using the forms and legal information on this site does not make you a client of the Indiana Bar Foundation (Foundation) nor does the Foundation accept responsibility or liability for action taken by users of this information. Communication with Indiana Legal Help or the Foundation is not protected by attorney client privilege or the work product doctrine—that means information shared with Indiana Legal Help or the Foundation may be admissible in court.
