A: Sometimes courts have preprinted petitions for certain types of actions that are fairly standard but courts do not provide preprinted orders. Orders for contempt are not standard because the orders must be prepared in compliance with what the judge ordered. Sometimes judges prepare orders for pro se litigants which is what I assume you are. If the judge does not prepare the order, you will need to either prepare the order yourself or find an attorney to prepare it for you.
