You can't be jailed for not paying child support as that's illegal. You get jailed for contempt of court, so it's up to the interpretation of the judge. However, in this economy where they are needing to release non-violent rapists due to lack of funding to house them, which would you rather see in jail, the rapist or the father in arrears in child support?

If the non-custodial parent is found to have willfully failed to pay child support, the court can sentence the parent to up to six (6) months in jail, a $500.00 fine, and even revoke the parent's drivers license.
