What happens if child support money is not used on the child does the parent go to jail?

No they do not go to jail. Remember that child support also helps pay for housing, utilities, gas to go places as well as for items for the child. Like any budget, toys and new clothes are wants not needs. As a non-custodial parent, you should not consider that child support is enough; it doesn't hurt to occasionally take the child out for a set of clothes, a jacket or new shoes.
