In my sister's case the child support payments are only defered until he serves his 2-10 years. They will only continue to add up until he has payed the amount in full. This would also depend on what state you are in. We are in MI.

What happens to child support payments if the father is jailed?
If the father was paying you directly, the payments will, of course, cease. If this is the case you must contact the state for assistance. If you were receiving the support payment from the state, then nothing will change and his payments to reimburse the state will become an obligation/lien against him for which he will eventually have to pay the state back.
Do you have to pay child support if the child is in jail?
Good question! I'm not an attorney, but I should hope that child support is not required if the juvenile is vacationing at the State Hotel. I know that people do not get SSI while incarcerated. Check with an attorney, or with someone at Family Court in your state.
How can you reduce child support payments if you were incarcerated?
Incarceration does not automatically relieve one of paying support that's due under any order that was in effect at the time of the obligor's incarceration. In such a case, the incarcerated parent should petition the court to terminated/suspend the obligation. Because support is based on ones income, incarcerated parents are typically not ordered to pay support. In addition, followed by addressing the issue of incarceration, also address the probability to freeze fees as they will incur. Out of experience, I know someone that incurred fees while she was doing her time and had a rude awakening after seeing the bill. Although, there is the options to adjust as long as supporting documents are available.
