    Could you please explain what this means in reference to a letter sent to a respondent who was in contempt of court....""Upon failure to purge himself of the contempt, a warrant of commitment may issue without further notice". Thank you.

    Upon failure to purge himself of the contempt - this means he has done something against the court's orders like not pay child support that the court has ordered him to do


    a warrant of commitment is a court order for someone to be incarcerated (put in jail) for not doing what the court has ordered them to do.
