Going to jail for not paying attorney fees
I would like to know whether or not it is possible to have a judge place a warrant for your arrest and once found go to jail for not paying your ex-husband's attorney's fees in full per your divorce.

It is possible that the judge may issue a warrant for your arrest. However, the court would have to follow certain procedures. That is an OSC in re Contempt must be filed and you would have to either be found in contempt of the court order or failed to appear at the OSC hearing.
