If you have fallen behind in your alimony and/or child support obligation in New Jersey one of the available enforcement techniques is to have a bench warrant issued against you. This means that if you are pulled over for any other motor vehicle infractions the police officer can and will arrest you on the spot as a result of your support arrearages. In order to be released from jail you will either need to pay what is called a purge amount or convince the judge that you are financially unable to pay.
If you find yourself in this situation you will certainly want to take advantage of a program being run in Mercer County New Jersey from April 28, 2014 until May 3, 2014. During this period the court will be running an amnesty program where the individual who is behind their support can come into the courthouse without the risk of being arrested and meet with a probation officer to work out a payment arrangement. A payment will be required at that time.
