Contempt Hearing

[betterthanher]

It is possible that a judge could expunge the record, but not likely. They like to keep it on record in case he does it again.

I believe you are confused. It'll be on the court record, but I believe the reason for having it expunged would be for credit reasons.

(***EDIT: expunged as in from your credit history***)

jail time is usually thrown out if one purges the arrears, if you are paying a hefty chunk on it then the judge most likely won't order jail time

my ex almost went to jail twice, both times on the day of court his mom wrote out a check for the arrears and he walked out a free man

Good ole' Mom>>>>>>>>

Sorry, I was a little vague. I was only refering to the criminal contempt charge.They'll keep the money paid on record. I think the op is asking if he can have the fact that he was found guilty erased from his record like it never happened. A judge would have the RIGHT to do this, but it could encourage that person to repeat the offense, since there was no previous record of the first contempt. Most judges are going to be much harder on you if you repeat the offense than they are the first time.
