No, they will work out a payment arrangement that is workable for you and him. Mostly the father and the Department. They will give a chance to catch up he show the attempt to do so. So many fathers show no intent or responsibility.
But, he should have filed a motion to modify his support at the time he was laid off. A motion to modify the arrears can be attempted, but many states do not allow it, but Judge David Grey Ross, the former Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement recommends trying.

If the father is the custodial parent he can request a child support order at the court that has jurisdiction over the case.

If the father has legal custody, the amount of time that the child spends at the mother's home probably won't matter.

Not positive but just saw the same thing on my court support docket. I believe it means that the Father/Mother was denied unemployment so no support order can be attatched. Basically,we are getting nothing...Again!! 7/20/2009 - I don't think that it has anything to do with unemployment. I just seen this on my husband's court support docket today and I can tell you that he has not applied for unemployment benefits in many, many years. I can also say that "unemployment" doesn't unemployment. My husband was told that it's a generic term that they use.

The state does not pay child support.

The father may not pay voluntarily but a court action will require him to.
