Can you file a contempt motion without having the issue "heard" at a case conference?? My ex is trying to bully me (IMO) by threatening to file a contempt motion on issues that have not been brought up in our court proceedings to date (eg. non-compliance with section 7 and contribution to RESP as defined by our SA) . Without getting into all the details, its a bit of a case of kettle calling the pot black. Just wondering what the procedural piece of this is? Thanks!

I think the governing rule from Family Law Rules is:
31. (1) An order, other than a payment order, may be enforced by a contempt motion made in the case in which the order was made, even if another penalty is available. O. Reg. 114/99, r. 31 (1).
The key phrase being "other than a payment order" ..
You can find the rules here: https://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/re...s_990114_e.htm
