What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina/Michigan
I'm 23, my sister is 18, my other sister is 13. My parents were divorced fourteen years ago and my mom took us to Michigan (we were born in NC, so I have to assume that since my dad still lives there and my mom lives in Michigan, the jurisdiction would be in North Carolina).
My dad is a self-employed landscape artist and also plays in a band for a small sum of extra cash here and there. While I'm not sure how much he makes anually, I have to assume it isn't much. He's being taken to court on Wednesday of next week because my mom is putting some kind of order out for him. I don't know what kind of order, but if she "drops" it, he wouldn't need to go to court.
He's been making small payments here and there, as he tells me, however the amount he owes is largely arrears and he will be having his second contempt hearing next Wednesday. I'm worried that he's looking at jail time and I'd like some viewpoints as to what he ought to do.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
