You will not receive child support if the other parent is in jail because there is no income to garnish. Their back child support will add up and you can file contempt charges for nonpayment of child support.
I'd Say Yes But I'm Not Absolutely Sure About It
if court approved.
Unemployment benefits may be garnished to collect child support, but it seems unlikely that someone in jail would be eligible for unemployment benefits.
Yes, both parents owe her child support.
An obligor who fails to pay child support pursuant to an order can be put in jail.
If a person is already in jail, there is no child support owed.
It is just like if the father did not see the child. He would have to pay child support. Visitation and custody are 2 separate things in the court system. Whether a parent sees a child or not, support is usually still issued. If the judge signed a support order and it is not payed, that parent can go to jail for unpayed child support.
Yes, until the order is modified. You can request a modification at child support enforcement. If it appears the child will remain there until aged out, you may need to file for emancipation. see links below
He has to file a child in need of care petition to obtain custody. see links below
No. If the child is in jail, the custodial parent is not supporting the child. Any amount should be paid to the state if required.
In the USA, the answer is NO. In fact it will grow.
Unless you show cause that its in the best interest of the child not to see his father. For example if father has a violent record I doubt they will grant visitation. Also you can ask for monitored visitation.
