Hello, im new to the forum and i have a problem. I don't make a ton of money, recently divorced and im head over heals in debt, 90 percent of which i have to pay because of the divorce. anyway, im at 1063 in arrears, which is not accurate because of 2 payments not posted with the child support division, but the checks have cleared my bank and i obtained proof of that. i didn't have the proof in court on the 21st of Feb 2006, but the judge tells me that i need to bring proof of those two payments, and proof that im making current payments or i just need to bring my toothbrush because he was throwing me in jail. After court I spoke with my lawyer and he said that the judge is going to want it all paid by then, which my lawyer i think is tired of dealing with my case, we've been in court every month for a year, so i don't depend on his advice, you would just had to of heard some things he's told me... I can't come up with 1000 bucks by the 7th of march, and really im under 1000 in arrearages. i know over 1000 in ky is a felony, but if im making my payments, and im under 1000 dollars, what the court do. I've heard from many people, one of which is a criminal law student, that they can not put me in jail as long as im making an effort to pay. Please Help! i'm thinking of going to the child support office and setting up a garnishment of 47.02(my current weekly payment) and sending in an extra payment weekly of 50 dollars. Any quick help would be appreciated!!!!! Thanks!
