An Oregon Petitioner's/Respondent's Affidavit Responding to Ex Parte Motion for Order to Show Contempt is a form filed in Oregon circuit courts to contest or respond to an ex parte motion for an order to show contempt. The form is used by the respondent to explain why they should not be held in contempt of court for failing to comply with a court order or judgment. The form includes sections to provide a statement of facts and circumstances, a statement of the respondent's defense or justification, and an explanation as to why the respondent believes they should not be held in contempt. There are two types of Oregon Petitioner's/Respondent's Affidavit Responding to Ex Parte Motion for Order to Show Contempt: the Petitioner's Affidavit and the Respondent's Affidavit. The Petitioner's Affidavit is filed by the petitioner seeking a contempt order against the respondent. The Respondent's Affidavit is filed by the respondent in response to the petition, to explain why they should not be held in contempt. Both affidavits require the respondent to provide a statement of facts and circumstances, a statement of the respondent's defense or justification, and an explanation as to why the respondent believes they should not be held in contempt.
