Thank you for your question. You did not specify why you were held in contempt of court, so I will address the balance of your question.
If you had a hearing before a general magistrate and do not believe the Report and Recommendations from the magistrate followed the laws or ignored the facts that you have given me in your question, you have a very important avenue still open to you. Under our Rules of Procedure in Florida, you have ten (10) days to file what are known as ‘Exceptions’ to the general magistrate’s Report and Recommendations to the court. That will give you an opportunity to ‘appeal’ the magistrate’s determinations to the judge that appointed the general magistrate to hear your case. Again, this must be done within ten days of the Report and Recommendations begin filed with the Clerk of Court. You will need to order a transcript of the hearing which you can get from the magistrate’s office or by ordering a copy of the transcript if you used a court reporter. Do not delay, The ten day rule is firm. Good luck.
