Calabash, NC asked in Family Law and Child Support for North Carolina

Q: My boyfriend is currently locked up in jail in NC for non payment. While he was working they were taking the payments.

While he was working they were taking the money for his children out of his paycheck. In April of 2019 we were kicked out of our home and he lost his job. Is there any way I can help him get released or is he stuck in jail for a long time?

A: The best and easiest way is to make payment to catch up any arrearage. if not then his incarceration will be reviewed by a Judge, or you can request a review and ask for his release then, or work release, but you will need to be able to show he has employment to be considered for work release.
