A notice to show cause is a formal document issued to one party in a dispute. It sets out details of an alleged offence or misconduct. In doing so, the receiving party will have the chance to explain themselves or otherwise face some further consequences.
An order to show cause (O.S.C.), is a court order or the demand of a judge requiring a party to justify or explain why the court should or should not grant a motion or a relief.
For example, if your ex-wife believes that you are smoking weed or drinking alcohol in front of your child in violation of the Order that states no drugs or alcohol are to be in the presence of the minor child, her attorney may file an Order to Show Cause.
