i live in new jersey and pay cs.. i pay 300 a month and im in arrears 3,000 and got a letter with a court date from the state for feb 1. just wondering if this is for mediation to make a payment arrangement for the arrears, or does it immediately go before a judge? it mentions about possible jail time. do the courts work with you of is it "the money right then and there or jail"??. also did my x make the complaint or is it what the state does...being that i received letters all summer about my arrears. also says i can bring an attorney but not required.. should i ??. i should have 800 paid before the court date. will that help with my case? any advice about the outcome would be GREATLY appreciated... thanks
