A quick definition of contemnor:

A contemnor is someone who disobeys a court order and is found to be in contempt of court. This means they can be punished by the court. If they are held in civil contempt, they can avoid punishment by following the court order. If they are held in criminal contempt, they will be punished no matter what.

A more thorough explanation:

A contemnor is a person who has been found to be in contempt of court. This means that they have disobeyed or ignored a court order. When someone becomes a contemnor, they can face punishments and sanctions from the court.

For example, if a court orders someone to pay child support and they refuse to do so, they may be found in contempt of court and become a contemnor. The court may then impose sanctions such as fines or even jail time until the person complies with the court order.

It's important to note that there are two types of contempt of court: civil and criminal. If someone is held in civil contempt, they can avoid sanctions by complying with the court order. However, if they are held in criminal contempt, they will face sanctions regardless of whether they comply or not.

Overall, a contemnor is someone who has disobeyed a court order and is facing consequences as a result.
