One payment should be enough. I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!

You cannot be arrested for child support arrears in any state. An arrest warrant is issued as a result of a finding of contempt of court, which is usually a result of the obligor parent not appearing when summoned to explain why the support obligation is not being met. Often the obligor will do this as they believe there is nothing that can be done, especially in today's economic conditions with so many support obligors out of work. What is not commonly known to them is the free help is available from the states to modify an order.

Yes. It is the parents responsibility to provide support to a child until they are 18, or 19 and in school. If that child has given birth it is of no consequence in terms of child support unless the child was legally emancipated. Having a baby does not legally emancipate a minor.

How do fathers check child support status in Florida?

Status meaning whether or not a child support order has been issued? You would go in person to the court that would have issued the order, or the child support enforcement agency in the area with jurisdiction (where the child legally resides) and ask. You will be required to present acceptable identification before such information is released. Also the county of jurisdiction may have online resources available where you can search court documents for a fee, including civil judgements (which would include child support orders). Google is your friend.
