Recent Case Discusses Contempt of Court Issues
The S.C. Court of Appeals recently affirmed a Family Court Order which awarded the wife alimony and attorney’s fees and found the husband in contempt of court. The husband had failed to comply with the family court’s orders concerning the distribution of personal property, payment of wife’s equitable share of the marital home, harassment, and communication with wife about the children’s issues. The Court of Appeals found that there was ample evidence to support the family court’s contempt findings on all four issues. Also, it held that the family court had erred by referencing a sidebar conference in its final and modified final order, but noted that the erroneous mention of the sidebar did not amount to reversible error.

I recently wrote a letter to my children who are in custody of their father. I brought something about him from the past that the children already knew about but in retrospect realize I wrote it full of my pain of losing them. Now I am going back to court for contempt in SC. What can happen to me?
