what is the statute of limitation for a contempt of court charge?

I don't think there is any limitation to a judges power in regard to contempt. You'd have to get another judge to overrule him(her), and that's not likely.

yes. now collecting it, could be a trick. unless you signed a formal document stating HOW it will be paid.\n\nGet a Lawyer. I've never heard of a person going to a superior court for contempt in small claims.\n\nIn some cases, there are statues of limitations. 16 years is a long time to be worried about it now.\n\n\nMost reasonable Judges would see this. Did you get a letter from Superior Court?  or someone blowing smoke about taking you there?\n This I would have to SEE, to believe.\n\n.

The statute of limitations does not apply. The whole idea of a limitation is that there should be a maximum amount of time between an offense and being charged with that offense. With a traffic ticket, being given the ticket is being charged with the offense, so you are charged within minutes of committing the offense. Photo radar or photo red light things also charge you immediately, though they have a month to mail you the ticket.

none.\n\nIf the statute of limitations is a year\n\nA crime was commited on 11/14/05\n\nThe statute is up tommorow.  Regardless of what holidays have passed.

Aggravated assault has a four-year statute of limitation. In criminal cases, the statute of limitations runs from the time of the criminal act to the time of indictment.\n\nHope that helps....

It's where you lived at the time you incurred the debt. \n \nI'm not sure the statue of limitation for Nebraska, but if they are not up they can file the judgment in the state you live at now.

Regarding the statute of limitations: the first thing we need to know is where are you suing (what state) and what are you suing about?  The laws are different in each state, and also different depending on what you are suing about.  In general the shortest statute of limitations is 1 year (although there are a few shorter) and some crimes have no statute of limitations, although I think probably all civil violations do.  There are also factors which can "toll" a statute of limiations, in effect extending the time in which you can sue.\n\nIt is hard to navigate the court system and legal procedures without a lawyer.  If you want to try, there are probably forms available either from your local court, or local court website.  In some cities there are clinics in which paralegals will help you prepare your suit. ("We the People" is one such firm.)  If money is the issue, there may be a local legal aid office that can help.

I don't know if I can tell you. I'm not sure the statute of limitations has run out yet.

A warrant expires only if it is allowed to. If a warrant is close to it's expiration, then the judge usually renews it. There is no statute for limitations on warrants. There are statutes for limitations on some crimes (not all) and the limitations are for the period of time between when the crime is committed and when the person is charged.\n\nOnce a person is charged with a crime, the statue of limitations does not apply.

1.. What state did this incident occur in? 2..The revised statute codes have 3 letters and not 2. 3..Why did you ask the same question four times? 4..How old are you? 5..Why would you enter a plea unless you had been charged and know that the charges had not expired? 6..Anyone know why attorneys have so much college behind them?

That all depends on the crime. Some crimes, such as murder, have no statute of limitation, so they can charge someone until they die. Other, lesser crimes are limited, and it depends greatly on the offense.

depends on the state...here in IL it is not a crime but rather a civil affair unless a judgement has been rendered and the party in question is in contempt.

Even though a great deal of time has transpired since the original charge, there is a great probability that a warrant has been issued for failing to appear on the original charge. A person charged with a crime has an obligation to appear before a judge to have the matter resolved. A warrant can be issued at any tiume during that process if a person does not show up to court, even if they have shown up already. I would suggest that you contact the court of origin for your friend and see if there is a warrant. If there isn't one, then he/she is home free.

There are many statutes of limitations. The basic idea behind them is that after a certain time has elapsed from the commission of an act, a person can no longer be charged or sued for it. One of the main reasons behind these laws are that is in many cases unfair to subject someone to a trial well after the witnesses forget details. What crimes and acts are covered by a statute of limitations depends on the state. Murder usually does not have a statute of limitations, however. Also, the statute of limitations is more important for civil cases than criminal. Imagine wondering for the rest of your life if someone you hit was going to sue you.

There is a statute to limitations, and in most states it's 7 years. Meaning after 7 years it's too late to file a claim against you.
