Do you have questions about criminal contempt of court? If so, contact the experienced Rochester Child Custody Lawyer Michael Schmitt for a free review.
As an experienced Rochester Child Custody Lawyer I am often asked about criminal contempt of court. If you’ve been accused of violating an order of protection, the criminal charge for that is called criminal contempt. Criminal contempt can either be a misdemeanor or a felony and it depends upon what the allegations are or how you are alleged to have violated the order of protection. If you are alleged to have assaulted the person who has the order of protection against you, that’s likely going to be a felony. If there’s a less serious violation of the order of protection, you’re potentially looking at a misdemeanor. Many times we’re able to get a favorable disposition of these cases, especially if there is no prior history of violating the order of protection. Certainly sometimes it’s common to have orders of protection involved in cases of custody and visitation with children involved. Many times we’re able to successfully negotiate a non-criminal disposition of a criminal contempt charge.
