Hi. Washington state.
My ex wife got a court order limiting me to supervised visits with my child. She refused to let me see the child although the court allowed it. Meanwhile, there is a different ruling in place.
My general question is: Can one file a motion for contempt of court for a ruling no longer active?
I guess I could not ask in court for the other party to be ordered to comply with the no longer valid ruling. But could I ask that they be held in contempt and be punished or ask for compensation.
Is that possible or are contempt of court motions only valid for active rulings?
Thank you
