Defending A Contempt Of Court Charge Through Child Support Modification

You may sometimes find yourself in a state of despair if you have been unable to pay your child support and your ex-spouse or someone on your behalf has decided to request for a Contempt for Nonpayment charge to be brought against you. But there are actually many things you can do to convince the court you are not truly in contempt and that it is beyond your control. You really are hurting for money and are unable to pay.

There can actually be many reasons for not being able to meet your child support payments. Job loss or getting laid off, serious illness, or even an accident are all things that can affect your income level. You really need to prove to the judge that your circumstance truly has changed, and you are not just trying to get out of paying. One way to do that is to file for Child Support

Modification.

You want to do this before your hearing takes place. Then you will be able to show the judge that you have taken steps to reduce your payments in order to meet the court's requirements. If your circumstance is temporary, you may not

need to do this; there are other alternatives for you.

If your changes are permanent or long-term, this is a way of trying to meet your commitments but have the financial resources to live on as well. It's just another part of a good defense when appealing a contempt for nonpayment charge.
