See Tim /GDW they are charging them with a crime after civil contempt of court.
They are not charged with criminal contempt...Criminal contempt is intentionally "wrecking" a court proceeding via withholding evidence ect...an act to interfere with a hearing etc..interfence with the justice proceeding itself.
You have the right to a trial under criminal contempt and it is treated like a crime...you are given the protections that proceed with criminal trials.
Your honor...."you are a fool and so is your momma could land you a criminal contempt charge"
Not having 20k in your back pocket when you go to court and owe 20k child support is not criminal contempt.
Civil contempt is not intended to be a punishment...but a compliance order as stated prior.
Charging people with a felony for non support is a punishment.
The people are not charged with criminal contempt of court.
Criminal contempt is usually an issue over conduct disruptions..an attorney holding evidence to intentionally alter the outcome of a case etc.
Back to to civil contempt which was explained prior in above post.
I will paste it below for convenience.
-------------------------------
In order for civil contempt to be proper the state would need to show cause that one being placed in contempt IS ABLE TO COMPLY...which means the state would need to show that the father actually had the funds for back child support.{but refused to comply}
If the state could show the father actually had the funds they could simply garnish them.
----------------------------------
As we can see the judge is disregarding such...and is also intentionally creating the situation where you can not comply !!!
Akin to spanking the kid for not mowing the lawn{payment} as you had them grounded in their room.{jail}.
Still not enough abuse for you Tim....how about double jeopardy.
If you are found guilty of a crime and do your time...you are not supposed to be charged for that crime again...but they are still responsible for that debt and the debt that grew while locked up.
You lose your DL as well as professional licenses you may have,
WTF...if anything they should be ordered to get a DL{drivers license if they dont have one}..and or order them to advance themselves in the work field ...so how the fuck are you going to pay your child support if say you are a profession licensed electrician and they intentionally prevent you from doing such.....Bullshit.
This would be akin to you being denied your position in the cabinet industry and preventing you from driving for another Job !!!
Intentionally wrecking your lively hood to make it even more difficult to pay.
Fuck that shit.
If they really had the interest of the child first they would not hamper the ability for the parent to make money BUT RATHER HELP.
If you believe in the current child support system....you also should not have issues with being jailed for being behind on your house payments...losing your drivers license, your professional business license,..get released..still owe...get jailed again because you still owe !!
Get out...get a job...try to put a roof over your head on a couple hundred bucks a month....you couldn't even afford to go pick up your own kid during your date night or your weekends...if you could you couldnt afford to have any recreation..or feed her for that matter....The kid would think your were a broke ass bum lol....wait you would be
