The Burden of Proof is in civil contempt it is called “Clear and Convincing Evidence.” The Order must be clear and unequivocal. The Order itself cannot be ambiguous and that means there might be a disagreement about what that Order means.  The Order also cannot have the gaps or omissions that might be problematic to follow it.  It must be clear on its facts.

The standard of clear and convincing evidence is in between preponderance of evidence in a civil case like a car accident and beyond a reasonable doubt or a moral certainty in a criminal case.

It must be proof that is fully clear and decisive, it is a bit less defined than preponderance of evidence or beyond a reasonable doubt, but it must be clear and undoubted disobedience of the clear and unequivocal command.
