You can only be indicted for any nonsupport that occurred after the period of time for which you were first convicted. If you have continued to fail to support your child or children after your first conviction, you can be charged for an additional crime. You are in danger of being charged as a persistent felony offender, and may be subject to a long mandatory prison sentence. You should get in touch with a Shelby County criminal attorney as soon as possible.
