Yes as below. But I add that generally contempt requires intent or a level of behavior the satisfies the intent element.
If a judge orders you not to go within 100ft of your ex wife and your happen to be riding a bus that goes out of control for causes not related to you and crashes into your ex-wife's front door, that would not be contempt.

Upon proper motion the court should issue an order to show cause why the person should not be held in contempt. Then a hearing follows and the person is held in contempt if there is a material violation of the order.

Once the court verifies that has happened, then yes they would be in contempt.
