What does it mean a writ of attachment purge to hold on childsupport

A writ of attachment is a writ signed by a judge to bring someone before the court, in most instances due to failure to pay child support. The purge amount is the amount that can be paid, in cash, to be released from custody. If the purge is not paid, the person will go to court and the judge/magistrate will make a determination about the ability to pay. I hope this is helpful.
