Rule 84 - Post-Judgment Motions
Rule 84.3 - Motion for Order to Show Cause - Contempt
1. All motions for an order directing a party to show cause why that party should not be found and adjudged in contempt of a court order must be verified by the moving party, and must state with specificity all facts including, but not limited to, the specific acts or omissions and dates and places thereof, upon which such relief is sought.
2. The moving party must prepare and submit to the court a proposed ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE which must either state with specificity all facts upon which the relief is sought including, but not limited to, the specific acts or omissions and dates and places thereof, or, alternatively, adopt by reference all the factual allegations of the motion therefor, a true copy of which must be attached to such proposed order as an exhibit thereto, in addition to the precise time, date and place of appearance.
3. No ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE shall issue upon the alleged failure or refusal of another party to satisfy or pay a money judgment or order to pay money absent evidence of the facts, by a verified motion, that reasonable efforts to collect by conventional remedies have been attempted without satisfaction or payment and why any further attempt to collect by conventional remedies is not reasonably likely to obtain satisfaction or payment.
