Description
Support orders; purging civil contempt. Provides that any order holding a party in civil contempt of court for failing to perform or comply with a support order must detail how the party may purge himself of the contempt. The party cannot be held in civil contempt if he does not have the ability to purge the contempt and he bears the burden of proof to show that he lacks the ability to do so. The bill codifies the law of Virginia concerning the power to hold a party in civil contempt. Read the Bill »
