If I pay the child support office as much as I can to show I'm trying to get caught up, will I still go to jail for being in contempt of court? And if I can somehow pay the whole amount I'm behind could I still go to jail for missing court?

Until or unless they make a motion to I crease it, don’t do anything. Your question was could they increase it. That doesn’t mean they will increase it.

My max expectation date is 9/7/21 and my parole officer just told me I had to stay on supervision until it’s paid off! I pay my current and pay towards the arrears.

The child is already over 18. Only in jail for child support arrears. Can I serve a certain amount of time for the case to be dismissed completely and the back child support to stop? Or after serving time is it still going to be the amount till it all gets paid?
answered on Jun 8, 2021
Yes. 6 months of serving for contempt; 12 months of serving on a misdemeanor nonsupport and 5 years if you’re serving on a felony nonsupport.
