We have sole custody of SS. Child support is only $185 but BM was ordered to pay and is 6 months behind . Will she go to jail ?

If she just got to jail then (based on your other post) she won't be paying child support anyway. And a judge will not put a mother in jail for being behind until it's an extreme amount and even then it's a "maybe". Don't count on it. It'll never happen. Just pretend it doesn't exist as its such a little amount anyway.

She is but I'm wondering if she will get more time because of it . She was also held in contempt of court . Any experience with that ? The judge ordered the contempt request but I didn't hear anything about consequences .

No she won't. The amour due will not go away. Most likely the court will order her to start paying with an additional ten bucks until the arrears are paid in full.

Shouldn't be that way. We don't need CS from her but I do think these things should stay consistent for both men and women .

Probably not. But... nail her ass for arrears, penalties, interest and a contempt order. Pain is often all that toxic wastes of parental skin like this BM can understand.

Bring the pain. Have fun doing it. }:)
