In such a situation the support order will remain valid and collectible. When the person is released from custody the child support enforcement division for the state will take whatever action required to recover the monies owed.
The matter of a non custodial parent being in a position where they are unable to honor a support order does not change the terms of said order. For that to happen the non custodial parent must petition the court to have the order amended or rescinded.

How do i submit a form for back pay child support if im the child but grew up?
Most states do not allow a child to collect back support as an adult. Although the right to child support belongs to the child, support is payable to the custodial parent to assist in the care and upbringing of that child. If the custodial parent did not receive that support, then she (or he) made contributions that should have come from the other parent, and the right to collect the back support belongs to her.
