§ 60-909 Penalty for disobedience.

If someone breaks a restraining order or injunction, the court can hold them in contempt. This is on top of any other penalties or damages the court might order.

Contempt is a serious matter. It means the person ignored a direct court order, and the judge can punish them for it. This punishment can include fines or even jail time, depending on how serious the violation is.

This rule gives courts a way to make sure their orders are actually followed. If a restraining order or injunction had no real consequences for breaking it, it wouldn't mean much. Contempt charges give the order teeth and give the person who asked for protection a way to hold the other side accountable.
