Can I be arrested and jailed for not paying alimony on time?
I was ordered to pay my x wife alimony due on the 1st of each month. After court, she and I decided that it would be better for us both if we split the amount into 4 payments and I pay every Friday. Since that time, I have been paying her every Friday. Recently, I have been mailing her a check every Friday and she is enraged that I am not putting cash in her hand on Friday. She is threatening to have me arrested and put in jail for this. Is that possible? We both reside in North Carolina.
