Mayande Gowon

In 2016 Supreme Court judge held Mayande Gowon in contempt for failing to appear in court. This is despite the initial appearing and and explaining to the court that he had no money to support himself and his newborn. The opposing side attorney representing my first wife argue that it was untrue that I had no money and convinced the judge that in spite of my Soren affidavit, apologies to the court, and making myself available virtually that I should be arrested, held contempt and be forced to pay $165,000 in alimony payments. I did not have such fun in 2023. I plead it with the court that I should have my divorce and that the contempt should be purged as it was unfair to force me to pay money that I did not have. Statute judge threaten me that if I didn't come up with the money, he would send me to Rikers Island. "maybe if I put my foot on your neck you will find a way to come up with the money." the hearing would be adjourned for two months. Ultimately the judge accepted my replacement attorney, but there were some hurdles as he was not a member of New York State bar. The judge reminded all that this contempt for the serious matter, and that in spite of my earlier. Pro Se pleas - I was not entitled to "a do over". Maybe if he put his foot on my neck, I would be sure to provide payments to cure the contempt and outstanding marital and child support balance. The hearing would be adjourned for two months. In the meanwhile, the judge order that I paid $8000 before the next hearing. I explained that my salary is only $5000 per month. How could I possibly pay this amount? The judges answer was " go hustle." the next hearing was her fault. Confirming that the $8000 was paid. (in part thanks to my mother, but mostly by my new employer) and that the pro hoc vice documentation that would allow my lawyer to represent me was in place. Again, the judge worn that the front of jail was very serious. He reminded me that Rock Island isn't at all like the federal camp accommodations. I recently experience. My only response was an affirmation that I didn't want to go to any jail or prison ever again. The hearing to decide the punishme for my 2016 contempt case was held on August 2026. All sides were heard. The attorney who represented Stephanie Gowon during the 2012 divorce proceeding, when he argued "that she was perfectly sane" ; now argued that if only I had paid monthly alimony of $7000 that it was quite possible that Stephanie would not be in a mental hospital today. And now he is seeking my incarceration. Stephanie, who was present via video chat from the state hospital, wasn't asked if that was her wishes. Which I knew were contradict the attorneys. His motivation is financial since the original guardian for Stephanie disappeared without paying his fees, although these fees will ultimately have to be paid by Me, the husband, as in the standard practice. The attorney representing my cousin, who is the legal guardian of my daughter Lalla, stated that she didn't believe I was reformed or learned my lesson and that she believed I should be incarcerated. My attorneys argument arrested on the present fat and circumstances. While my prior choices may not have been reflected, positively, I was present in here, working hard to resolve all financial and moral obligations. Judge took a moment to provide his decision. When he came back from Miss Chambers, he stated that all of my efforts were " too little too late". His decision was to remind me to Rikers Island. If $135,000 is made available then we can come back to the table to talk. Keep in mind at this time I have yet to be to be accused of any specific crime. I also have not been provided a sentence. How is this judge ruling not considered extortion? Why is jail always a sound a reasonable choice for those without money? How exactly am I even able to support my engineering team this small startup company? How does jail resolve anything?
