Description

This is an original habeas corpus proceeding. The relator, Wesley D. Cardwell, was picked up and jailed upon a writ of attachment for failure to obey court orders relating to child support. It affirmatively appears from the record that he was not served with citation or a copy of a "show cause" order prior to his being seized or prior to his trial for contempt and subsequent commitment, other than the writ of attachment. The order of commitment, however, recites that Cardwell had been "duly cited." The question is whether Cardwell had been afforded due process. We hold that he had not.
