Question by Anj: What should I expect in court where my Ex has been charged with contempt for failing to pay his child support?
The ADA filed the charge against him. He owes our 3 children over four thousand dollars in back child support. He has changed jobs repeatedly each time making less money. He thinks that makes it alright for him to stop paying his support as ordered. He has also moved several hours away, and hasn’t kept one of his court ordered visitations in a year. I have done everything I could to accommodate him. I have brought the children to him every time they have seen him except for two. These visits are not regular visit. He only stays about fifteen minutes or so and then leaves. This time it’s been over two months since he has seen them. He even missed our youngest child’s birthday. The children feel like they don’t know him anymore, and that he doesn’t know them. He thinks nothing will happen to him when he goes to court. He also threatens me that if he goes to jail, he will never pay his child support again. It really is out of my hands. I filed the case with the state office of child support recovery (Ga.). It has been extremely hard for the children and I since he stopped paying his support. I desperately need some relief through this court proceeding, but I’m not sure what to expect. I appreciate any help, especially if you have been through some thing similar.

They will make him pay a certain amount by a certain time or he will be put behind bars…at least this is what they did to my deadbeat mother of my children
