Description
FORM UJS-358 - ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. This form is issued by a Circuit Court in South Dakota that requires a party—either the plaintiff or defendant—to appear in court and explain why they should not be held in contempt for failing to comply with a previous court order. This order is typically issued after a party files a Motion and Affidavit for Order to Show Cause, alleging that the opposing party has violated a court ruling. The order sets a date, time, and location for the hearing, where the accused party must present evidence or testimony to justify their noncompliance. Failure to appear at the hearing may result in a warrant for arrest. Alternatively, the court may determine that the motion lacks sufficient cause and deny it outright. This form is used in cases where enforcement of court orders is necessary, such as in family law, civil litigation, or other legal disputes requiring compliance with prior rulings. www.FormsWorkflow.com
