What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TN
I had to go to court last month because I was $6000 behind in child support payments. The judge granted me an extension to "seek counsel." I have spoken to an attorney, but cannot afford to hire one and I don't qualify for legal assistance. I have paid $5000 of the arrears since the court date. My question is will I be held in contempt or will there be any other negative repercussions if I don't bring an attorney with me to court? (Since the judge granted the extension to "seek counsel".) Thank you!
