  Thank you, your honor! I have finally had my "day in court"; I think everyone should have one of these.
It's like Andy Warhol's 15 minutes of fame, except mine took about a half hour. Without going into all the sordid details, let me just say that the judge and state attorney were not impressed with my dead-beat-dad ex-husband (my, he's earned quite a title! ) and they were NOT having any of his excuses. Lesson to any dads out there considering not paying child support: no matter how hard you try to justify not giving the mom child support money - your ass is going to jail.
That wonderful humanitarian of a judge told him to show up next week "with money or a toothbrush. " She's giving him a chance to keep his sorry ass out of jail, while at the same time getting me a little of what I'm due...that's fair. She's my hero!
