A show cause hearing in child support is a legal proceeding where a parent is required to explain to a court why they should not be held in contempt for failing to comply with a child support order. The hearing typically occurs when one parent believes the other is not paying the mandated support amount. If the court finds that the noncompliance is unjustified, it may impose penalties, which can include fines, wage garnishment, or even jail time. The hearing aims to ensure that the child's financial needs are met and that both parents adhere to their legal obligations.

Does there have to be an existing court order to do a Show Cause Order?
Yes - the actual name is, "show cause why the defendant should not be held in contempt."Another View:Not necessarily. Definition follows:"A show cause order is an order of the court, directing a party to a lawsuit to appear on a certain date to show cause why the judge should not issue a specific order or make a certain finding. It is also called an order to show cause or OSC.A show cause order is commonly used in a family law case. The hearing of the show cause order is customarilly not an "evidentiary" hearing. An "evidentiary" hearing is where each of the parties is sworn under oath and takes the witness stand to provide testimony (evidence) to prove the facts for the judge's ruling. But normally at the show cause order hearing the parties have provided their evidence in the form of a written declaration signed under penalty of perjury.In some cases, orders to show cause are filed by a party requesting a court ruling on: child custody, child visitation, child support, spousal support, attorney fees and costs, property restraint, and property control. These are mostly used to modify already-existing orders issued by the court."See below link:
How is a mother legally able to receive back child support on a child who is 19 and married without any paternity testing and without the father's signature on the birth certificate in Arkansas?
A mother could obtain a child support order under those circumstances if the father didn't appear at the hearing, contest his paternity and request a DNA test to disprove his paternity.At the time of the hearing for child support the father has the right to contest his paternity and request a paternity test to make certain he is the father. He must show up at the hearing prepared to deny that he is the father. If he doesn't show up and contest the charge then a child support order will be issued. If he is determined to be the father (even by default) then he is obligated to support his child and that includes back child support that can be assessed according to state laws that vary from state to state. If he didn't request a DNA test then he should consult with an attorney now to determine if he has any options.A mother could obtain a child support order under those circumstances if the father didn't appear at the hearing, contest his paternity and request a DNA test to disprove his paternity.At the time of the hearing for child support the father has the right to contest his paternity and request a paternity test to make certain he is the father.

What do I need at an order to show cause re dismissal hearing and who requests this hearing the court or the landlord who I was granted the motion to vacate judgment against?
It depends on who filed the order and what the subject is about.Usually a show cause hearing requires a good argument to support or deny what the hearing is about. You may need evidence and testimony to help support that argument however. And what that is depends on what you have or can get on the issue.But generally a show cause hearing is where you or your opponent must show a good enough reason to the court so they can make a decision. Best way to think of it is to keep this in mind "Show Cause Why this court ..." the issue can be anything connected to the case and/or decisions made by the court. There are rules that govern this but it is far too complicated to go into here.

1. SHOW UP FOR THE COURT HEARING AT THE STATED DATE AND TIME ON THE PETITION. DONT BE A JERK AND IGNORE IT!!!!! YOUR CHILD IS WORTH IT 2. You helped make the child, you help support him/her. If you dont show up for the hearing, the court can file a default judgment delaring you as the father/mother (whatever your situation is).

What is Rule NISI in a child support hearing?
NISI is a designation to "show cause" relating to why a ruling shouldn't be absolute and enforceable. The party to whom it applies is given the opportunity to prove why the ruling should not stand. For example, the amount of child support ordered. If the non custodial parent believes they cannot pay the amount he or she needs to present evidence supporting that claim.
Can you go to jail for not giving whole amount for child support?
In some cases, yes. But only if the person who owes support cannot show just cause,such as, no job,medical condition, etc. But a lot depends on how much they are in arrears and the frequency of the partial payments. And a lot depends on the judge hearing the case.

If you are hurt and cannot work can you be put in jail for falling behind in your child support payments in Texas?
Probably, yes. Child support is ordered by a Court because a child has a right to be "supported" by 2 parents. If one or both of those parents fails their responsibility to the child then the Court will take action. Whether you are injured or not, your child still needs to be cared for. Who supports you? Feeds you? Pays your rent & utility bills? A judge will ask you these questions if you are ordered to appear for a "Show-Cause" hearing. (a "Show-Cause" hearing is where the judge tells you to come to court & "show" what "caused" you to get behind on your payments. Usually you will be allowed to set up a payment plan; most judges know that jail will help no one & will only lock up the worst offenders. You may be eligible for Workmans Comp or Disabilty, depending on how you were injured & how long until you will be able to work again.
