I recently received a letter yesterday from the sheriff office sating that they have a civil summons and was trying to contact me. I don't know what this could be about, unless its where im behind on child support. Is this possible this could be about child support or would they take another route?:confused:

It could be about child support. It could be a subpoena for you to appear in court regarding your late child support payments. The judge will probably establish a payment plan and order you to stick to it. I'm curious as to why child support payments aren't garnished from your wages?

The child support amount was set but I was supposed to pay directly to her that was something we both agreed on and it was OK with the court. Is it possible to be aressted on a civil summons?

The amount was set but the court, also agreed that it was all right for me to pay directly to her. Is it possible to be arrested on a civil summons?

No. A summons is an order to appear. Only a criminal subpeona would be bring the possibility of arrest.

Instead of speculating get the summons,then you will know what its about.

Thanks!
