What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
My ex-spouse was ordered to pay a purge payment after being found in contempt for non-payment of child support. Is this purge payment credited toward his accrued arrears? And I will receive it (the money)? Or is it more of a fine to excuse him of jail time, and the money goes only to the court?
Is there a standard regarding the above for purge payments, or can it vary from state to state?
Thank you.
