Description
The Relator, Floyd W. Herring, Jr., was held to be in contempt of court and was put in jail for failure to make support payments as directed by the court. He was not personally served with notice of the show-cause hearing at which he was held to be in contempt, and he had no knowledge from any other source that such a hearing was to be held. Notice of the hearing was served on Herrings attorney, but she informed the person making the service that she did not know where Herring was, and that in her opinion, service on her (the attorney) was insufficient. No attempt was made to serve Herring personally, and there is no evidence that Herring was secreting himself for the purpose of evading process. The question is whether Herring was afforded due process of law. We hold that he was not.
