I had a certain amount of money to pay for child support but didn’t pay it all by the date given will I have a warrant out for my arrest

Dear Anonymous: That depends on what the original order compelling you to make the payment says. Usually, unless there was a determination that you had the present ability to pay whatever the sum the ourt ordered, there is another hearing to make that determination.  Then if the court finds you have the present ability to pay what is referred to as a "purge" (which might not be all the money you owe) an order may issue to have you picked up and incarcerated until you pay that purge. I hope this helps- but I suggest that you pay all that you can towards this sum to avoid any problems.   Cindy S. Vova Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A. Broward/Boca Raton 954-316-3496/561-962-2785
