Decision And Order for Contempt {FA-4176V}

FA-4176V - DECLARATION AND ORDER FOR CONTEMPT. This form is used in the Wisconsin Circuit Court to document the court’s findings and ruling regarding a party alleged to be in contempt for failing to comply with a prior court order. The form identifies the original case details, including the names and contact information of the petitioner and respondent, and indicates whether the State of Wisconsin is a party. It records the details of the hearing, including the judge or commissioner presiding, the date, time, and location of the hearing, and the appearances of the parties involved. The form specifies whether the party named in the Order to Show Cause is found to be in contempt for intentionally failing to comply with court orders related to issues such as payment of child support, maintenance, family support, medical bills, return of property, completion of legal documents, payment of debts, following custody or placement orders, or other violations. If found in contempt, the form details any remedial sanctions imposed, including jail time (with or without work release privileges), other sanctions, and the effective date of these sanctions. It also outlines any purge terms that allow the party to avoid or end the contempt status by meeting specified conditions, such as paying a certain amount by a deadline. The form includes instructions on how payments must be made, whether directly to the Wisconsin Support Collections Trust Fund or by income assignment from an employer. Additional court orders and future hearing information are recorded as needed. The form reminds parties to notify the court and child support agency of changes affecting payment ability and explains the appeal rights and ratification of the order. Failure to obey the order may result in jail. The form must be served on all parties, who have a limited time to object to its accuracy. §767.78 Wisconsin Statutes. www.FormsWorkflow.com
