Bring with you:
1) Proof of all payments you made that would negate the claim (or at least part) for the arrears
2) Proof of your current income and assets/liabilities.
If the court determines you owe arrears, the court can require you to pay the arrears or be incarcerated. However, if you cannot afford all of the arrears, you need to show what you can afford so the court can set a purge amount. That is essentially an amount to give you the "keys to the jail cell' and keep you out of jail.
Good luck.
