What Happens at a Hearing on Contempt in a Child Support Case

There is no question. He's declaring once again how he is immune from any legal repercussions from his actions.

I didnt want to pay she is already married and stepdmom can pay. She is married with a woman.

A friend of mine told me that the judge may find "wilfull" that I didnt pay as I paid a day before court.

But what should matter is that I paid right?

What do you mean "the stepmom can pay?" You have a child with your ex right? That's your responsibility not the stepparent. Unless the stepparent adopts a child, they aren't legally responsible for paying child support for a child not theirs and they have no order to pay.

If you don't want to be responsible for your kid and the stepmom is a better parent, why not let her adopt?

You waited until a day before court to pay on your arrears? Smh. Yes you could still go to jail even though you paid half the balance. It's up to the judge.

It doesn't matter that you paid. The only reason you paid is you had to go to court about it and you want to avoid jail - not to take care of your kid.

I just saw the other thread...smh.

I paid because Im traveling abroad tomorrow and I needed the balance below $2,500.00 in order to have my passport without being revoked

The court was today and I called explaining that Im on vacation. Nothing wrong was said to me but the date adjourned.

My question is where is the jail time you guys said I would get? Im even traveling on vacation and nothing wrong happened but the case adjourned on my favor

Adjourned to the end of the month does not equal dismissed in your favor.

And I'm by no mean certain I believe you, either.

What you don't believe? ��

You can go to my other post to see the served paper I uploaded.

Lot of people try to scare fathers with jail yime but in fact nothing really happens

Oh, I believe you were scheduled for court today.

What I don't believe is that you called them, said "I'm on vacation and won't be showing up" and they said, "Oh, okay, we'll just drop the whole thing".

The case may have been postponed till the end of the month. But it's not been decided in your favor.

Im not saying it was decided on my favor. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I meant to say that base on the fact that it was so easy for me to adjourned the case it just mean how nothing can be done against me.


By the time I get back I pay the balance and the case will be close

Uh-huh. You just keep believing that.
