In order to obtain a contempt order in Massachusetts it involves filing a motion against the other party in court.

This is done when the other party does not comply with requirements of the Separation Agreement, stipulation between the parties, or a court order.  In most cases, this occurs when a party does not pay child support or the terms of the parenting agreement has been violated. Contact Law Offices of Robert P. Luber today to learn more.

If the court determines that the other party violated a court order when they had the ability to do so, a court may issue a contempt order.  Penalties for contempt include:


  • The issuance of an order to pay all past-due sums.
  • An order to pay attorney fees for the party who brought the complaint, or;
  • In some circumstances, jail time.
