Child support: Contempt: Reasonble efforts to obtain funds
CSA No. 0362, September Term, 2012. Unreported. Opinion by Thieme, Raymond G., Jr. (retired, specially assigned), J. Filed February 6, 2013. 7 pages. Appeal from Baltimore City. Affirmed.
The defendant did not meet his burden of showing, by a preponderance of the evidence, that he should not be held in contempt because he was unable to pay more in support than he had actually paid, and that he had made reasonable efforts to become employed or lawfully obtain the funds necessary to make payment.
