In Fulton County, a petition for citation form is used to request that the court issue an order requiring a person to appear before the court. The form can be used to request that the court take action against someone who has failed to comply with a previous order or who has allegedly committed contempt of court. There are several specific grounds on which a petition for citation may be based, and the form must be completed accurately and filed with the correct court in order to be effective. Failing to take appropriate legal action can result in significant consequences for the individual involved, so it is important to understand how and when to use a petition for citation in Fulton County.
