Q: What document do I need to submit to court to close a civil case after the judge has spoken on it and not dismiss it?
The judge has spoken on a civil contempt case and the case shows open and not closed. Child support enforcement cannot move forward with their case because the civil contempt case shows open. I don’t want to dismiss the case only close it.
A:
Your attorney should have prepared an order for the judge to sign. If you were not represented by an attorney, the judge should have given instructions. It is best to contact an attorney who can go over the specifics of your case and advise you on your next best steps.
We are glad to assist you. Contact us soon. I wish you well.
