The first step is to make sure an existing court order has been violated. Once the violation is established your attorney will prepare an Application for Contempt and set an arraignment date. At the arraignment the party charged with contempt will plead either guilty or not guilty.

A contempt is indirect when it occurs out of the presence of the court, thereby requiring the court to rely on the testimony of third parties for proof of the offense. It is direct when it occurs under the court's own eye and within its own hearing.

Oklahoma law says that contempt can be punished by a fine not exceeding $500 or a jail sentence of up to six months, or both, at the court's discretion.

Indirect contempt of court, occurs when a person willfully disregards or disobeys an order outside the presence of a judge. It carries with it up to six months in county jail. Indirect contempt is one of several ways to collect child support or alimony in the state of Oklahoma.
