An Oregon Order To Show Cause For Contempt (Personal Appearance Required) is a court order that requires an individual to appear in court to explain why they are in contempt of a court order. This type of order is typically issued when someone has failed to follow a court order, such as paying child support or alimony, or appearing at a hearing. The order requires the individual to appear in court at a specified time and date, and explain why they are in contempt of the court order. In Oregon, there are two types of Order To Show Cause For Contempt (Personal Appearance Required): a Default Order To Show Cause and a Non-Default Order To Show Cause. A Default Order To Show Cause is typically issued against an individual who has failed to comply with a court order without an acceptable excuse. A Non-Default Order To Show Cause is issued against an individual who has failed to comply with a court order but may have an acceptable excuse.
