What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
Well my CS enforcement/contempt case is finally over! My x husband did show up. Even though the GM (general magistrate did a Show Cause and Order to Appear last month. She began with, how it was my hearing and I could proceed. I thought it was her hearing since she issued the Order to show cause and the Order to Appear.
At any rate lucky for me I was ready. The bottom line is he was found in willful contempt, had to make a purge payment, arrears was established, arrears payment was tacked on to weekly payment (the amount was impressive, I did not expect that amount), and of course if he does not pay the purge he is to serve 5 months and 29 days in jail. (he has already paid the purge)!!!
She turns to me and says this is his first contempt right? LOL, try his fourth! Which seemed to come as a surprise to him as well, but then again so did the certified paper I paid for just prior to the hearing showing his last CS payment, how much he owes as of the date of hearing, and how each payment accrued weekly.
I don't understand how one buries their head in the sand, its like covering up one finger and looking at the sun, if I can't see it, its not there. good grief!! Anyhow, I am happy its over, and he had to pay something.
BTW he was within ten miles of our son and never came over to see him, never mentioned his name, did not even ask about him. Thankfully I never told my son his dad was going to be in town, I decided not knowing he was here was better than knowing he was here and realizing he did not bother to come see him.
