Hello and thanks for any input on my situation. My husband has been incarcerated for a civil purge commitment. (failure to pay child support) He has had an inconsitant history on paying. The child is 8 now and the mother never attempted to collect until the past year. She has moved around and my husband had no contact with the child. He was incarcerated for contempt in January in which I was able to make his bond at 1500.00 this past thursday he went to court and the judge held him in contempt for 546.00. He just recently became employed and brought his pay check and his pay stub with him. It was his first pay check and was only for two days. BUT it was proof that he was now employed. The judge still held him in contempt and placed his bond at 3000.00 CASH. I cannot in no way no how afford this. How can they have incarcerated him at a bond set so high, especially seeing that we just paid a purge bond AND he had a pay stub PROVING that he was now employed? His next court date is for 3/23. How can a judge leave him in worse conditions by incarcerating him risking the loss of his new job?
