Attachment For Contempt is a legal action used to enforce a court order or compel compliance with an obligation. It is a remedy for civil contempt, which is a willful disregard of a court order. An Attachment For Contempt is issued by a court when an individual or entity has failed to comply with a court order. The attachment orders the individual or entity to appear in court or face possible sanctions, such as fines, imprisonment, and seizure of property. There are two types of Attachment For Contempt: a Writ of Attachment and a Citation to Discover Assets. A Writ of Attachment is a court order authorizing a law enforcement officer to arrest an individual and bring them to court. A Citation to Discover Assets is a court order authorizing a law enforcement officer to serve a summons on the individual or entity to appear in court to answer questions about their assets.
