Child support is based on a percentage of net income. In an official opinion by Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement, child support obligation ceases while incarcerated.
Can you get child support inArkansasif their father is incarcerated
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.
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.
The payments continue to pile up until the order for support is modified/terminated, so file that motion to do so right away!

Non custodial parents do not lose any rights when they are incarcerated and pay no support. Since they are incarcerated they usually cannot see their children because they are locked up but they did not lose the right to have visitation once they are released.
