What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? South Dakota
Let me start my explanation by saying my mother is going through a very contentious divorce involving a business her and her husband own 50:50 shares of.
On Tuesday she was arrested for a Civil Contempt of Court for not providing two passwords. She does not have these two passwords and opposing council have been given instructions on how they could obtain them. I personally do not understand how someone can be arrested and kept in custody for 3 days now over passwords that they do not even have.
She has not been before a judge since she has been in custody. When calling the Clerk of Courts in the county this charge was in I was told, "Nope, she will not see a judge. She sits or gives up the password. It's a court order."
