Kildare court orders arrest of man not paying maintenance to his ex
The woman alleged the payments are in arrears
A man who is allegedly not paying maintenance to his ex wife faces being arrested.
The woman came to Naas District Court seeking the support of family law legislation.
The woman told the court that there were maintenance arrears in place and an order covering these payments was made by the court about three months previously.
The man was neither present nor represented at the brief hearing.
Judge Peter White was told that the payment is €300 for three children.
Judge White told the woman that because the man was not present he could issue a warrant for his arrest.
He said the gardaí will then arrest him, another court date will be arranged and he will be released to appear on the new date.
He said the man would be brought to court and a new date fixed to hear the case.
