- Q. Can NC parent be held in contempt if only making part of CS payments that were ordered in CA
- A: Generally, for a parent to be found in contempt for failing to pay child or spousal support, the court must find that the parent had the ability to do so and willfully didn't. Contempt is what we call a quasi criminal proceeding that requires proof of intent. If someone is ordered to pay $3,000 a month and their income is only $2,000 a month, then they probably cannot pay the order and their failure is not willful. On the other hand, if they make $10,000 a month and fail to pay three, it is not difficult to find that the failure was intentional or willful.

- A: First, the soonest your divorce can be final is 6 months from the date your husband was served. Meaning that if he was served recently, the courts 6 months time frame for finalizing your divorce really is not significant. If that's not the case, and the court clerk is telling you it's going to take 6 months to process the paperwork, you may expedite the proceeding by setting a court hearing date, at which time the judge could approve your divorce and the court clerk could stamp your papers as final. Not sure what the timelines are in Contra Costa County, but ask the court clerk.
