What to do if I owe $19k in child support?
Question Details: I was in jail for a week because I didn't go to court; I was not served because I had moved so the judge let me go at my bail review hearing. I go to court next week and I would like to know what would happen? I have been trying to search for a job and I'm in college getting my Bachelors degree but I am on public assistance, I have 3 kids to take care of in my home. I'm willing to pay payments on the arrears with the help of my husband until I get a job. Should I tell the courts this or what should I say?
I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney to assist you in your matter where you would agreement to a monthly amount that you can afford in order to slowly whittle down the the $19,000 that you owe via a stipulation and order with the court.
