A Washington Order On Hearing Re Contempt is a court order issued by a Washington State court to hold a hearing to determine if a person has violated a court order or judgment. The court will issue this order when the person has not complied with the court's prior orders or judgments. There are two types of Washington Order On Hearing Re Contempt: Civil Contempt and Criminal Contempt. Civil Contempt is when the person has violated a court order or judgment in a civil case, such as failing to pay a debt. Criminal Contempt is when the person has violated a court order or judgment in a criminal case, such as disobeying a no contact order. The court will set a hearing date after the Order has been issued and both parties will be notified of the hearing. At the hearing, the court will hear evidence from both sides and decide whether the person has violated the court order or judgment. If the person is found to be in contempt, they may be subject to fines, jail time, or other penalties.
