Can I get out of a contempt charge, if I can show good cause?

Kelly Snodgrass
Answered by attorney Kelly Snodgrass
Divorce lawyer at Robinson Henry, P.C.
To be charged with contempt, you must have the ability to comply with a court order.  If you have lost your job or have no income, it is not likely that your Ex can prove that you have a present ability to pay child support. Additionally, it sounds like you may want to file to modify child support.  Generally, a party is imputed income at a rate at which they reasonably could, should or have earned, or their "potential income."  In your case, one would expect your Ex to be imputed at the amount he would make at his new career field.  Additionally, some expenses you pay, including daycare expenses, should be included in the child support calculation by statute.  see C.R.S. 14-10-115 regarding child support guidelines.

How can I get my husband to pay his back alimony now that he finished paying child support?

You need to start with an attorney in NY who can review the situation and determine whether the NY court can enforce its order. You will probably need to retain an attorney in CO to register the NY decree and proceed to enforcement in CO.

Is it considered abandonment if Husband left the home, after his mistress called and sent emails about their 3-year relationship?

It is obvious that, in fact, your husband has "abandoned" your marriage. But, that has no legal significance whatsoever in Colorado.
