It's the government's job to prove your guilt, not your job to prove your innocence.

He wasn't accused of a crime, so the government didn't need to prove guilt. He was ordered in a divorce proceeding to provide the money he was shown to have, or prove he no longer has it. He refused to do either, so was held in contempt. He was "proven" to have committed the crime of not obeying the court. That was the only "crime" committed.

Willfully obtuse. Anyone who's passed 2nd grade civics knows it's the government's job to prove your guilt (hiding the money), not your job to prove your innocence(money was spent).

You are the one that's willfully obtuse. The government proved he had possession. He then deliberately hid it from the government, so the government can't "prove" anything past that point. That is sufficient to hold him in contempt for not providing the money known to exist, or proof it no longer exists.

He claimed he was defrauded. Then refused to file a fraud complaint against the person (or persons) who defrauded him. The inconsistent behavior and proof he had the money, but no indication of where it went after he deliberately hid it.

I went across the street and told my elderly neighbours (both have since passed) who had survived the great depression and served in world war 2 that no, they had seen worse in the world, and it wasn't going to end, all they had to do was change the batteries in their smoke detectors and get a good nights sleep.

Well THERE'S the problem right there! Your neighbors were in charge of fixing the DMV's software!
