A contempt hearing is to impose sanctions (fines) and attempt to force the payment of CS. CS once found in arrears can never be erased, not even if there were errors made in assigning it per the Bradley Amendment. Even the disappearance or death of the child would not remove the arrears (debt owed). Only payment of the arrears in full will remove the CS arrears from the court's jurisdiction.
Granted probably a lot of people don't know this but I doubt this would be a motive to kidnap or kill one's own child for the most part.
People kidnap and kill their kids all the time over money.
