No, you're not taking anything away. Your situation is (sadly) very common indeed.
And as you say, if you start missing child support payments the judge will hit you with contempt charges and put you straight back in jail for several months to teach you a lesson.
If you had ended up in jail the case might have run on for months or years. Once you are inside a jail you lose most contact with your attorney and your support system and you have the lowest priority in the system, so your case is usually just continued each month until the end of time.
Find the wrong cops and you'll end up in jail for months for having some vitamins on you:

- nerdponx 3y agoIt's particularly irrational because they're the ones that put you in the situation of missing child support in the first place. Seems more like extortion and racketeering to me.
- u32480932048 3y agoWhen it comes to enforcing custody orders, however, the courts are suddenly as impotent as their 90-year old judges. "That's a criminal matter - go to the police", say the courts. "That's a civil matter - go to the courts", say the police. Morons and Political Hacks[1], the lot of 'em.
