Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

I am showing for a court hearing for being $1000 in child support arrears, I have been without a job and actual place to live for a while here. I made a few payments for 2 consecutive months these past 2 months. My friend took me in, gave me a room, got me a job, and hooked me up with trehab to get my GED, if I show the judge this, will they throw me in jail? or will they let me go and let me get my life together. I now have a job I'm starting orientation for, taking my GED exam this month as well. I'm putting my life back together and I dont know what to do??

Depends on the judge. If you can scrape some money to bring yo hearing it would help your story. Bring witnesses and documentation of what you have done looking for work your homeless period etc. If you haven't filed a modification of support you should do so.
