Contempt of court

[Sarahd3342]

Hi,

I have read online about contempt of court.

If I were to say "my ex accused me of X. This was later proven unfounded" am I in contempt of court? It's in relation to child arrangements.

Thanks

Contempt of court is things like being rude to the judge or continually talking about things they've asked you not to.

What you are mentioning isnt contemptuous.
It's potentially relevant to the proceedings. Unless they tell you before hand that you aren't allowed to bring up past court proceedings, I don't see why it would be an issue.

@Sodthesystem thanks. I meant, if I was talking to someone outside of court about what has happened.

Family court proceedings are private. In theory disclosing what happened in specific terms could amount to contempt of court. Sharing documents would certainly be.

If you were proven innocent I don't see why you wouldn't be able to share that.

But if he was accusing you of assault, he probably told other people you assaulted him so it's not like it's only the court that knows. And you could just say that you were proven innocent of that.

Highly doubt they'll give a fuck.
Even if they do, they can't prove anything unless you've written it down or shared with someone traitorous that clyped on you.
