This sanctions rule applies to any action or proceeding brought under the Family Code.

For purposes of the rules in this division:

In addition to any other sanctions permitted by law, the court may order a person, after written notice and an opportunity to be heard, to pay reasonable monetary sanctions to the court or to an aggrieved person, or both, for failure without good cause to comply with the applicable rules. The sanction must not put an unreasonable financial burden on the person ordered to pay.

Sanctions must not be imposed under this rule except on a request for order by the person seeking sanctions or on the court’s own motion after the court has provided notice and an opportunity to be heard.

In addition to the sanctions awardable under this rule, the court may order the person who has violated an applicable rule of court to pay to the party aggrieved by the violation that party’s reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, incurred in connection with the motion or request for order for sanctions.

A court order awarding sanctions must be in writing and must recite in detail the conduct or circumstances justifying the order.
