    What Can the Petitioner Expect After a Contempt Hearing
    My question involves child support in the State of: Oklahoma

    I am in the beginning stages of a visitation/custody petition. One of the first objectives of my attorney was to file a contempt motion for unpaid child support and child care dating back to 2011. The contempt hearing is taking place soon and I am insure what to expect. This is not the first time he's been behind and I have submitted his full payment history. He's also 18 months behind on a child from another relationship. He's never been cited with contempt before. That being said, can I expect that he will be given a timeline to pay and then there will be a review or will he be cited that date? I'm asking for attorneys fees, will I likely be awarded even if he's not cited? Will I have to take him to small claims if he does not reimburse me timely for the fees?

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Small claims won't touch it. If you're not awarded legal fees, that's pretty much the final decision.

    Your attorney should be guiding you.
