Whitney Purvis Avoids Arrest in Child Support Case with Substantial Payment
Whitney Purvis has managed to avoid arrest in her child support case by making a substantial payment as ordered by the court. Court documents reveal that the former "16 and Pregnant" star was at risk of being arrested for falling over $23,000 behind on child support for her children, Weston Jr. and River, with her ex Weston Gosa. The judge required Purvis to pay a $4,000 lump sum to prevent jail time, and she complied by paying the full amount, leading to the rescission of the arrest order.
Moving forward, Purvis is still responsible for paying $353 per month in current child support, as well as $20 per month towards the arrears, in addition to processing fees. This ongoing financial obligation remains in place despite her recent payment to avoid arrest. Purvis has faced legal troubles in the past, including a previous arrest on a felony involuntary manslaughter charge related to an alleged fatal overdose involving the distribution of a fentanyl-xylazine mixture. She also faces drug-related charges, including possession with intent to distribute, following the tragic death of her teenage son, Weston Jr.
