Re: Paternity case

Usually this happens when there is a significant deficiency in child support payments and he has been held in contempt for not appearing in court on the matter. Hopefully he has good records showing that all payments have been made. If he can prove he isn't in arrears, then the contempt would be dismissed. Otherwise he'll have to work out a payment arrangement with the court.
