(a) A motion shall be filed, asking for the rule, supported by a sufficient affidavit or verification of the motion showing the applicant is entitled to the relief. A tendered order shall also be submitted.

(b) When the motion and affidavit are filed, a rule will generally be issued ex parte by the Judge. The rule will recite that it is returnable before the Court at a day and time certain for the other party to appear and show cause why he/she should not be held in contempt.

Where the opposing party is still represented by counsel, service will be made on counsel and on the party.

(d) Incarceration resulting from a finding of contempt shall be imposed only after a hearing, at which time the Court shall permit additional evidence and may give any party found in contempt an opportunity to purge himself/herself of such contempt.
