Not sure if im in the right place but this is my problem and would apprieciate any kind of help or advise... I was taken to small claims court for a cell phone bill that my ex husband and i had together but it was in my name... to make a long story short i missed my court date 3 times not intentionly its just something that i wasnt thinking about anyways when i went in the judge asked me if i wanted a lawyer, I said no not thinking I needed a lawyer for a cell phone bill but he talked nothing of the phone bill he went staight to the contempt of court and gave me 5 days in jail. What my question would be is there anything that i can do to try and get no time in jail maybe some community hours or something like that... who should i speak with regarding this. I cant afford a lawyer I am a widowed mother of three, I have never been in trouble with the law before and I dont know what to do can you please help me
