A Florida Order of Contempt is a court order that is issued as a form of punishment for individuals who have violated a court order or a divorce decree. The order typically requires the individual to comply with the court order or face a penalty, such as a fine, jail time, or both. There are two types of Florida Order of Contempt: civil and criminal. A civil contempt order is issued when a person has violated a court order or decree and the court wants to compel them to comply. If the person fails to obey the court order, then they may be found in contempt and be punished with a fine or jail time. A criminal contempt order is issued when a person has disobeyed a court order or decree and the court wants to punish them for their non-compliance. In this case, the court may issue a jail sentence or a fine as punishment.
