First of all, a Motion for contempt can be field and a jail sentence can be imposed if it is likely to compel compliance. there is no limitation on the duration of that jail time. However, a defense to a Motion for contempt for non-payment of child support is an inability to pay. Of course, if you are unable to pay, you should be filling a Motion to modify. You would be wise to retain a lawyer. I can be reached at 612-240-8005
