You can file a motion for contempt without an attorney. You can ask the clerk of court for the forms and the procedure, although the clerk cannot give you legal advice. Lisa M.

Hi: Do I have to have an attorney to take out “contempt of court” papers on my ex.? He is not paying his part of the medical bills as stated in the court order. Thanks.
