How often do people go to jail in the state of Alabama when they go to court for not paying child support for the first time?

It's not generally in a state's interest to jail someone for the first offence, because jailing the parent means their income will practically vanish and there'd be little hope of ever paying their responsiblities.
However there are other factors that have to be taken into account, perhaps the parent is deliberately withholding a large amount of funds, or recklessly spends on themselves without keeping some back for their responsibilities. The court may use a jail sentence in these cases.
