A: Yes, you can submit additional information, documents, or evidence to the court for a contempt or enforcement hearing.
A: Not enough information. When is the hearing. There are statutory deadlines for filing documents in support of and in opposition to an Order to Show Cause re contempt. What, if anything, have you filed in response to the Order to Show Cause?

A:
Yes, you can submit additional documents or evidence to the court, but there are some steps you need to follow. Typically, you must submit any additional evidence before the hearing, and the court will have deadlines for when this needs to be done. It's important to make sure that any new information is relevant to the issues being discussed in your case.
You'll want to check the local court rules or the instructions provided with your hearing notice to see if there are any specific guidelines on submitting evidence. If you're unsure, you can contact the court clerk for guidance on how to properly file these documents.
Make sure that any evidence you submit is well-organized and clearly labeled so the judge can easily understand its relevance. This will help ensure that your side of the story is fully presented.
