Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
my qustion is... i have a family case going on since january 2004....just this past year i have had to let my attorney go since i could no longer afford her...i have also lost my home, my children and i were living in a homeless shelter as a result of that my ex has had my daughter and will not let me see her in almost a year..i have 2 other childen for a new relationship....we had went to court a few months ago because i was placed in contemt of court for not attending a parent coor meeting, i was given a chance to purge the civil contempt by attending another parent coord session which i did go and paid the fee, and then because my ex would not agree to anything we had to go to another session which i did attend however i did have the 100.00 fee so i was told that the session could not take place and it was canceled...my ex then filed for a ccommtment hearing asking that i be held in jail until the hearing takes place...my question is could that happen? from what my ex tells me that the police will come to my home and arrest me and i will have to stay in jail until my hearing? thankyou for your help...Noelle

If you are in contempt of court, perhaps so.
