Sample opposition to order to show cause for civil contempt in California

Sample opposition to order to show cause for civil contempt in California. This sample opposition to an order to show cause for civil contempt in California is made on the grounds that (1) the opposing party has not willfully violated the terms of any Court orders, (2) the party charging them with contempt has failed to meet their burden of proving their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in that they have failed to submit competent evidence that would support a finding that they willfully violated the TRO, which is an essential element of a finding of contempt.  The sample opposition also requests that the Court hold a full and fair evidentiary hearing in which they are allowed to confront and cross-examine all witnesses against them. The sample has been revised and updated in 2019, is 10 pages and includes, Brief instructions, Memorandum of points and authorities with citations to case law and statutory authority, Sample declaration, and Proof of service.
