A Massachusetts Complaint for Contempt is a type of court action that is used when one party fails to comply with a court order or ruling. The court order or ruling is commonly known as a divorce decree, child support order, custody order, visitation order, or other court-issued order. The complaint is filed with the court by one of the parties involved in the action. The complaint must allege facts that explain why the other party failed to comply with the court order or ruling. If the court finds that the party was in contempt of court, the party may be subject to sanctions, such as fines, jail time, or other legal consequences. There are two types of Massachusetts Complaint for Contempt: 1) Direct Contempt and 2) Indirect Contempt. Direct Contempt refers to a situation where the party is accused of disobeying a court order or ruling in the presence of the court. Indirect Contempt refers to a situation where the party is accused of disobeying a court order or ruling outside the court's presence.
