What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama
I have posted before but my thread got closed. Just a quick update and a question. Went to court, ex didn't show up. Court granted everything including extra for medical bills, etc. He was told he had to pay everything in 90 days and begin paying his child support on May 1 and every month thereafter. At this point, I have still not seen any child support. Therefore, he has completely disobeyed the court order by not paying anything for the months of May and June and the arrearages (although he has 90 days to pay that.) I believe therefore that he has chosen not to purge the charges, and should therefore be put in jail for the 30 days the court ordered.
How do I go about getting the courts to enforce the contempt order? Do I need to file anything else or go up there and have them issue a bench warrant and pick him up? He is obviously not going to pay, and I am feeling like if I don't enforce this, he will not think I am serious.
Please advise.
Thanks.
So Over It.
