If a 16 year old girl in the state of CA still does not testify under a subpoena and is found in contempt of the court will she go to a juvenile facility or jail and how much would her bail be set at?
I don't know in which facility the girl would be held. There is no bail for contempt. Contempt is the "willful" refusal to comply with a court's order. The only way to be released from jail is to comply with the court's order. In this case, the girl would remain in jail until she agrees to testify.
How much time would you serve if you were convicted of contempt of court in Cuyahoga county Ohio?
A court can only punish a criminal contempt up to 179 days, and $500 without a jury trial. Anything more than that requires a trial with a jury. See, Otis v. Meade, 483 S.W.2d 161 (Ky. 1972). However, on civil contempt, a Court can hold someone indefinitely in jail until they agree to obey the Court's Order. As the Supreme Court said in Commonwealth v. Burge, "While one may be sentenced to jail for civil contempt, it is said that the contemptuous one carries the keys to the jail in his pocket, because he is entitled to immediate release upon his obedience to the court's order" See, 947 S.W.2d 805, 808 (1996).
You don't want to testify?
I don't believe you have much choice. If you are not the defendant, married to the defendant, or legally insane and a danger to your self and others, you have to testify. If you refuse, you can be held in 'Contempt of Court', and will go to jail.

Yes, you can be found in civil contempt of the court order and jailed. This, of course, is a last resort, the court would first probably lien your assets and order as much as necessary seized for payment of the arrears.
How much jail time for non payment of child support?
http://www.fathers4kids.com/html/ChildSupport.htm?article_id=78 "Yes. You may be placed in jail for up to six months for not paying child support. The legal basis for placing you in jail is "contempt of court." Contempt of court is a legal term that means you are not following a court order. You may also be fined up to $500 for each violation and have to pay attorney?s fees and court costs." That previous answer was incorrect that the support does not accrue while you are imprisoned. The support continues to bill, meaning it will be in arrears even more when released.
