Petition For Contempt {CC-DR-112}

CC-DR-112 - PETITION FOR CONTEMPT (Md. Rules 2-648, 15-206, and 15-207). This form is used in the Maryland Circuit Court to request enforcement of a prior court order when a party has failed to comply with its terms. The person filing this petition asserts that the opposing party has not obeyed a specific order previously issued by the court, such as an order related to custody, visitation, child support, or other family law matters. The petitioner must specify how the order was violated and may request that the court issue a Show Cause Order, requiring the non-compliant party to appear in court and explain why they should not be held in contempt. This form should not be used for violations of protective orders, which require a different petition. If the court finds that contempt has occurred, it may impose penalties, including fines or jail time, to compel compliance. The form also reminds the filer of the need to properly serve the other party with the petition and associated documents, in accordance with court rules. www.FormsWorkflow.com
