  For contempt? I don't know which jurisdiction you're referring to, but certainly in Illinois state courts it's an unlimited offense. I don't think there are any statutory restraints on it. I've seen people be sentenced to 20 years for refusing to testify as the sole witness to a murder.

    The comment was specifically talking about not paying child support. 180 days is the limit in Colorado.
