An obligated parent can be incarcerated, but it rarely happens as judges realize the person would then be without the ability to earn income and pay the ordered support.

If the judge should decide to incarcerate a non compliant parent on a charge of contempt that person would be sent to jail, (not a state prison), in the county or perhaps city where they are a resident.
