∙ 12y agoI'm not just answering this because I practice consumer collection management. I'm also answering this out of experience due to my fiancee is going through the very same ordeal. So, if you don't mind let me give you some tips on what to look out for. Don't be startled but your father should address the child support with regards to the fees that he will incur while he is doing his time. He can write a letter to the courts requesting that interest, if its accumulating interest, and fees be temporarily frozen. This will show accountability. Once he is out and faces adversity from unemployment and due to the recent recession he could calendar a court date to see the judge and request a hardship program till he's able to make adequate payments.
Good Luck!

∙ 11y agoUsually, yes unless in the (very rare) case where visitation is contingent on child support payment in the custody order. Visitation and child support are two different things and most courts are reluctant to terminate visitation rights if a father has child support arrears. You would need to contact an attorney in your state of residence or refer to your court documentation for a definitive answer.
