It involves child support.  My son in law fell behind on his child support and was arrested and charged with the class D felony.

You can consider taking him to small claims court. You won't need a lawyer for that. The information about how to do it is available from your local court system in your community. If you file a small claim and he fails to respond or show up, you will get a default judgement. That will allow you to attach to any property (real estate) and perhaps go after any payroll with a garnishment. For $1500, I would definately nail his asss to the wall.

I don't know, but you should ask an attorney.\n\nHe sounds like a real scumbag.\n\nGood luck, friend.

Judging by your nic, I would say you are in Texas.\n\nIf I'm not mistaken that is a class b misd.\nsince he did not appear in county court a warrant was issued. They will probably keep him in jail until he goes to court. Then, the Judge will put him on probation for awhile.\n\nHe lucked out getting a P.R. bond---why in the world did he skip out on court????? That was dumb.

likely some jail time, considering the amount in question.  since it's the 1st offense, i wouldn't say it's a significant am't of time.  restitution is a given, and probation thereafter...at least 18 mos.

It should come down to what the terms of the probation are. I have heard of it going either way. One judge said yes, you are a family, stay together. Another said no, no association with other felons. Talk to a lawyer. Because there is a business involved, which is a third entity, you might get a break.

Was this a criminal case, or was it a W&I Parental Abuse/Neglect case?\nSounds like a W&I case, which is not a criminal case and therefore not a misdeameanor.  Best thing to do is contact your attorney and ask.

Most stores require a "restitution" payment, regardless of the criminal outcome of the case. Whatever they charge, someone has to pay. I suggest you pay it and have your son work to pay you back in some way.

Sure the hell is .do you have a court order? let his P.O know if he is not living up to it get help from family services ,he should be getting"hits"which should sent his ass to jail or prison which is where he belongs if he wouldn't take care of his kids.

You need to speak with either a child support enforcement officer of a lawyer.

That;s a hard story to figure out, since you didn't really specify much.\n\nMy suggestion is that you have a consultation with an Attorney and let him tell you what you can do..........

Was it a related charge?  ie 1st degree murder to 2nd degree murder?  Then there's no material change in the charges and it can proceed.  If they went from shoplifting to assault and battery though they'd have to give time to prepare a defense to that since that was not the orginial charge.

It is very sad that has happened but unfortunatly that may be his best option. Does he still pay his child support? He needs to continue paying it even if he is not seeing his son because if they do end up back in court it will look better on him. I know that if you do not have a child back from visitation on time the police can be called, I wonder if it works the other way to. ( like she's not having the boy there for his visitation time if he can call the police on her) He may also try to contact his local DSS office and explain the situation to them and see if they can help or they may know who to contact to help him. Good luck to your friend!

Under the Child Support Enforcement Act of 1984, district attorneys (D.A.s) or state's attorneys must help you collect child support owed by your ex. Sometimes this means that the D.A. will serve your ex with papers requiring him or her to meet with the D.A. to arrange a payment schedule. These papers usually say that, if the ex refuses to meet or pay, he or she could go to jail.

The family court judge will do the following... if he's any good.\n\nTaking into account that the judges first and foremost objective is the care and well being of the child(ren).  Therefore, what has happened in the past does not play into what is to happen going forward.  The past doesn't pay for nor should it take away from the child that needs support.  So...\n\nThe judge should ignore the tax problem and the guy shouldn't bring it up as a debt he has to pay.\nThe judge will base his decision based on the Non-Costodial parents wages and/or potential wages.  Thus based on the number of kids there will be a set max percentage that can be asseted.  If the custodial parents ability to fully support the child financially, then the judge will most like award the maximum amount.\n\nDuring this process, the non-custodial parent has the right lay out the income and expenses they have and ask the Custondial Parent to do the same in an attempt to lower the amount of Child support to a level the JUDGE can deem as fair to the CHILD.\n\nIn my case, the after the judge looked at all the debts I got and the cost of my house note and the amount of money and number of kids (3), he looked at me.. assested the support amount and then said, "But I really don't know how you are going to make that amount and keep your home."\n\nSo.. it's about the kids.  Period.  Not that it's wrong, it's just the way it is.  The fact your friend hasn't paid Taxes in years is not a factor the judge will probaly consider nor does he want to hear about it as he would prefer the man be out of jail and working to support the child.. then in jail and the state support them.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nOh... he better have an attorney and he better tell them everything!

I don't know about the legal side of talking to the D.A., but in Oregon child support is based on the kids needs and a set formula. You can see what this is using the child support guideline calculator http://dcs.state.or.us/calculator/. And usually, he has to provide half of the insurance, and pay half of the medical bills not covered by insurance, no matter what his income is.\n\nNothing is cast in stone until the divorce is final however, and he doesn't have to pay support until then (but they usually make him backpay). My suggestion is to protect yourself and your kids first, worry about the financials later. In Oregon, able bodied workers can find jobs that should allow him to meet his financial obligations, and the state will take it out of his pay directly.\n\nGood luck.

well if she just got the order it probaly an emergency order. he should recieve his day in court in about a week.however these usually are civil matter which means she may have got the judge to grant her this on emotional abuse sounds like he doesn't need her anyway .However make sure he does not contact her in any way she can prove. in ohio the first time you violate it you can recieve 180 days second time it turns into a felony. so what state do you live in ?e-mail me if you like I actually have a cpo against someone and know a little bit about this stuff. What she has done is really cruel and ultimately makes it harder for people who really needs protection.
