Mr. Gosnell was found to be in contempt of the court's child support order at a hearing on November 05, 2007. During his four month purge period and in order to avoid jail time, he was ordered to pay $449.02 per month plus 2% processing fee toward his regular monthly child support. His payments toward his arrearages were suspended during the purge period. At the initial March 14, 2008 purge hearing, Mr. Gosnell had not completely met the conditions of his purge, and the matter was continued for 60 more days. At the May 16, 2008 hearing, Mr. Gosnell had paid 83% of the expected payments. Judge Kovack found that Mr. Gosnell had not purged the contempt and ordered him to serve four days in the County Jail. However, he would not be ordered to serve the time immediately, and if he made the remainder of the payments within two weeks, Judge Kovack agreed to vacate the jail sentence.
