When is a child support payment considered late?
My ex is always late on his payments. The court papers says: every first of month he should send the money and he does have 30 days to pay it (I never received the full amount on the 1th,he always send less than half. Is this means the on the 2nd he is already late? Thank you

If I pay my court fines late will I still go to jail?
I had til Apr. 31st to pay $300 for the cost of being in jail for a misdemeaner a month prior. I was sent home paperwork stating when the fines were due, but I didn't pay them on time. -The paperwork stated that if I didnt pay the fines I would get a warrant sent out for my arrest and spend 30 days in jail. -I'm going to pay tomorrow (which is two days after the fines were due to be paid) I'm going to pay the $300 but it's going to be paid late. My question is, if I paid these fines off two days late without being picked up by the police, will I still go to jail because I paid it after the due-date, or will they let me off? (I live in Michigan) Thank you!
Im a week late with my payment to aarons what the worse that can happen?
If its only a week, call them and let them know you intend to pay on a specific day. If you don't, they have to recover the loss. They have several avenues of action.... They can re-po your stuff you bought. Plus put a bad mark on your credit report. If they don't re-po, they can take you to court for payment and interest. If that happens, and you are found guilty, you will also be responsible for their court costs as well as yours, AND still owe the balance due on the product you have.
Paid CA cell phone ticket late - Help!?
I got a cell phone ticket in California and paid it one day late. It was $160, and I thought my court date/payment due date was 06/08 when it was really 06/03. I was putting it off because I wanted to see if traffic school was an option, because the notice I received in the mail did not have it listed as an option. Unfortunately, June crept up on me. I paid it on 06/04 over the phone with my credit card, but the automated phone service said it would take 10 days to process the payment. Has anyone experienced this before? What will the consequences be? Any advice is welcome! Thank you!
What happens if my lawyer doesn't show up in court?
It depends upon the nature of the proceeding - civil or criminal, and also depends on whether you show up. In a criminal case, in almost all instances the defendant will be required to be present in the courtroom. In those rare instances in which the attorney’s appearance will substitute for the defendant’s appearance, the failure of the attorney to appear, and you don’t appear, a bench warrant for your arrest will be issued for failure to appear in court at the date and time ordered. If you are out on bail and fail to appear in court, the failure to appear cancels your bail and a warrant for your arrest will issue. If you appear in court and the attorney fails to appear, you should ask for a continuance based on absence of counsel. This will almost always be granted. However, a judge could be difficult and assign a public defender to represent you at that moment and direct the case to go forward. This would be highly unusual in all but a minor offense, such as a traffic offense, in which a conviction would not result in jail time, but only a fine.In a civil case, failure to appear can result in a default judgement in favor of the other party. Default judgements are not final until a 30-day period has run, during which your attorney could file a motion to set aside the default judgment and request a new trial date. For example, if you attorney was representing another client in a different matter and the trial unexpectedly ran an extra day, that would be a reason for setting aside the default and rescheduling. However, the judge would still be upset with the attorney’s failure to notify him/her of the schedule conflict. At a minimum, you would have an angry judge that could take it out your side when the trial actually occurs at a later date. Or, the judge could find the attorney in contempt and order the attorney to pay a fine, immediately, or even put the attorney in jail for several hours.The lesson here is always appear at your trial date and time, even if not required to do so. If neither you nor your attorney show, the consequences to you could be arrest (in a criminal case) or dismissal of your case if you are suing someone in civil court, or loss of the case if you are a defendant in a civil case.
