ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

A show cause order (“order to show cause" or “OSC) is an order of the court, directing a party to a lawsuit to appear on a certain date to show causes why the judge should not issue a specific order or make a certain finding. For example, in some cases, orders to show cause are filed by a party requesting a court ruling on: child custody, child visitation, child support, spousal support, attorney fees and costs, property restraint, and property control. Another example one might file an order to show cause, is if a party requests that the court find another party in contempt of an existing court order, the judge will typically issue an "Order to Show Cause Re Contempt" to the party accused of being in contempt of court. They are also mostly used to modify already-existing orders issued by the court.
