The laws vary from state to state.

Most have a law in place to prevent this from happening. Depending on the school, and how many days they allow to be missed is a factor.

But, if a minor misses too much school, then they will be issued a truency ticket, which in turn if the minor continues to miss school it turns into a warrent. The officer will arrest the minor, take them to juvinile, then to court to go before a judge. Now depending on how many days was missed there are several consequences (which all consequences sentenced are up to the judge presiding over the case, the minor, and in some cases, the guardian will have no input on the matter): the minor will go to juvinile, the minor will receive a very expensive ticket, the minor could receive the maximum amount of community service allowed, the minor could be expelled from the schol, the minor could be placed on house arrest (allowed to go to school and back home ONLY), and if the minor continues to miss with or with out parental consent/knowledge, the legal guardian could receive severe consequences as well. The guardian could receive jail time as well, tickets, or other consequences.

Yes. In some states, they can take your children away if you refuse to send them to school or give them accredited home schooling through 8th grade or until age 16. In a lot of places, it is considered abuse not to educate your children.

Many parents ground their kids if they misbehave, kids don't enjoy this and sometimes get worse so its better to threaten to cancel fun events coming up this makes them realize your serious and your not going to fall for their bad behaviour.

The legal guardian/s will be held liable and can be charged with neglect and contributing delinquency to a minor among several other charges.

Then the child may be removed from the home and placed in foster care or a state ran halfway house where they will be forced to attend school. If they cause a problem at public school, they can be moved to alternative school.

What happens to child support when a child doesn't go to school regularly?

Probably custody is the proper discussion, not child support. Child support is for living expenses, not in return for certain behaviors you expect. Certainly, as a parent, you still need to insist that the child attend school, even if it means that you are the one fetching and carrying the child to school. You definitely should be on the school's list as a contact for absences, progress reports and so on. There is no question that getting your child through high school or a GED at the proper age is important for their growth as young adults.
