A court required to schedule and conduct a hearing pursuant to section 3119.66 of the Revised Code shall give the obligor and the obligee notice that any willful failure to comply with a court order is contempt of court and, on a finding by the court that a person is in contempt of court, the court and the child support enforcement agency will take any action necessary to obtain the information or make any reasonable assumptions necessary with respect to the information the person in contempt of court did not provide to ensure a fair and equitable review of the court child support order.
Terms Used In Ohio Code 3119.69
- child support enforcement agency: means a child support enforcement agency designated under former section 2301. See Ohio Code 3119.01
- Child support order: means either a court child support order or an administrative child support order. See Ohio Code 3119.01
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
