It's scary for sure

Man, to be honest with you, I'm now a prisoner of my country because of this system of coercion. They've ruined my credit so now I can't pass a background check for high security clearance, which affects my income. They've put me in jail. They put a lein on my bank account and intercepted my entire paycheck. How the FUCK do I pay rent? But I'm preaching to the choir. My apologies for the rant.

Telling me I'm a felon is just a name. More jail time? Not unless they build more jails. 90 days is max in connecticut. In my experience as long as you stay under that arrears threshold you're good to go.

Yes thats correct. In my state they call it a "purge" amount and that goes to the custodial parent. I borrowed money from friends but had to wait for some of them to get paid before they could loan me the funds.

I dont think they can call it bail because you haven't committed a crime. When you get locked up for arrears you are considered a "civil admit". Technically as a civil admit you are legally supposed to be segregated from the general population because it is a civil matter not criminal.

Sorry that was a lot of info.

I'm in connecticut. I made a motion to modify and they took 100 dollars off of the 800 per month I owed. They said I still had the ability to work a desk job so they wouldn't lower it any further..

In my state they come after you once you hit $1500 in arrears. Your first court date is usually light coercion in the form of paying a certain amount by a certain date. The second court date is jail. Or so I've learned.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response.

Lmao!!!

I'm almost there!

I'm very happy that you are finally out of the system. Congrats! I bet it feels good.
