Apparently, the ex wife's attorney has alleged your son has violated a court order. This is generally not very lightly received by a court. It can be any of many things and should be corrected as soon as possible. Contempt penalties can range from an order to correct the violation to incarceration until a purge amount has been paid (for non payment of child support ordered by the court).
