If I file the contempt of court myself, do I need to inform my attorney that they no longer act on my behalf?
Optional Information: State/Country relating to question: Mississippi
No, but you would need to let the court know that you were acting on your own by putting the words "pro se" after anything that you were signing. That way the court knows that you are not represented by counsel..You can likely find a template or example of a motion for contempt on the internet for free or for a small fee that you can use to draft your own motion. I like a site called uslegalforms.com as they have legal documents drafted by attorneys specifically for a particular state that someone can download for a small fee..

Please do not rate 2 stars/faces "Helped a little" or 1 star/face "I expected more" if you need further help as this is considered a negative rating against me. Just reply to me via the “CONTINUE CONVERSATION” button with the issue you have as I receive no compensation for my efforts for the lowest two ratings.

Thanks for the information, on the motion the original civial action had the other party as the Plaintiffs, we are the Defendants. on the Motion for content would this remain the same or are we switched?
You would switch them because you are the Petitioner and the other side is the Respondant. And it is a "Motion for Contempt"..
