Once you are arrested, you will be taken before the judge for an initial appearance, at which point you will be told of the charges against you, and bond will be set.

Depending on the court order, your ex may take you to court for contempt due to not having the child on insurance, even though the child may be on Medicaid. If, however, you had your child on your insurance, then it should be a matter of providing that documentation to the court.

If he is repeat offender, then that means that he was previously convicted of a felony (or two). Your best bet will be to contact a criminal defense attorney to review the case and see if the sentence itself was illegal. Feel free to reach out to any attorney on here.
