Q: How do I respond to a motion for contempt and what forms or templates can I use to do so for the state of GA?
Both parties are technically guilty for not following actions in time and are both months overdue, however communication has been sought between both parties attorneys. I am curious if there is a template I can use to draft my response and how I counter it to say that the other party is also guilty?

A: There is not a template you can use. You can just respond in plain language regarding the allegations. You also cannot file a counterclaim to a contempt action. You have to file your own case if the other party is in contempt.
