Legal Question in Family Law in Arkansas
Jailed For Contempt/ChildSupport
a court ordered visitation to defendant by plaintiff and ample child support until final hearing. defendant refused plaintiff visits after 2 weeks and after apprx. 1 1/2 months defendant wrongly stopped paying support until divorce hearing. plaintiff knew judges due to being a DHS worker.defendant was given a public defender e few minutes prior to court which so happen to be the judges brother-in-law. he did not listen to defendant at all.defendant was
jailed to 6 months w/120 days suspended. he was 0nly 1000.00 behind. should he not have been given an oppurtunity to pay first? i believe this was unfair justice.

Re: Jailed For Contempt/ChildSupport
There is a lot more to this story than meets the eye. You need a family law Atty, not a public pretender that is right out of law school and has no clue except a few minor crimes!
Bottom line ... hire an Atty. It will SAVE YOU IN THE LONG RUN!
