There is no single answer to your question. It depends on the laws and practices in your particular jurisdiction. Generally, there are several steps the court can take beginning with a finding of contempt of court for not obeying a court order. If the defendant continues to ignore the court orders the court can issue an arrest warrant and the defendant will wind up in jail. The party who is not receiving the court ordered support must bring the matter to the court's attention.
