You can't. Only a judge (court) can hold someone in contempt.
You can petition the court for sanctions, if there is a case pending and the other side does something nasty. Or if the court has already issued an order that the other side refuses to obey.
But in the end, it's up to the court to hold someone in contempt or not.

You can file a petition, but like the first person said it's up to the judge to rule on the petition. Search online for forms for your specific state, or ask the court clerk in whatever court it's in to point you in the right direction. Courts have varying rules about the format and content of the petition - if something is wrong the judge will tell you to do it over or throw it out. Just another reason to use an attorney - so it gets done right.
