No one can predict how this will work out. The facts you present are insufficient. You should engage an attorney in your area.
Well, I can't predict what the Judge will do without more information, but I can predict that he or she will say that you should have taken steps sooner. At 150 per week, it would take 100 weeks (almost 2 years) to rack up a $15,000 arrearage.
You should speak to a lawyer and go through all of the relevant facts with him or her.
