What is the name of your state? Missouri
Hi all. My husband is currently obligated to pay his ex-girlfriend child support for their 3 children. We recently moved to Missouri (the children reside in Arkansas, which is where we just moved from) and he fell a little behind in his payments. But he is making his payments now, although not always the full amount. She has threatened to have him put in jail for his missed payments and not paying the amount set by the order. Believe me I do not want to see him go to jail for this. But it's hard for me to help b/c we also have a daughter and a house, which I pay the mortgage on. He pays the house bills and is paying off other personal debt to get his credit straightened out, so that has played a major part in him not paying the full amount of his child support. Anyway, my question is if he gets put in jail and they say he can't get out until the amount is paid in full (b/c this is what I've heard) can they come after any of my assets for the missed payments?
It just seems the judge cares little about what else the father has on his plate i.e. other financial obligations.
