This is an appeal from the Chancery Court of Forrest County wherein Paula Leggett Duncan, petitioner/appellee, filed her petition for citation for contempt and petition to modify a previous divorce decree against her former husband, Clarence Grady Duncan, respondent/appellant. Clarence Duncan failed to file an answer to the petition or make an appearance. Therefore, the chancellor granted the relief prayed for in Paula Duncan's petition and also ordered Clarence Duncan confined to jail until all child support arrearage due at the time of the final decree was paid unto Paula Duncan.
