The non-custodial parent will still owe child support, even if he or she is disabled and on welfare. However, most states will not garnish needs-based assistance such as disability or welfare payments. So if the parent is not working and does not pay his or her court-ordered child support, it would be difficult for the state to collect. He or she might still be arrested and jailed for failure to pay.

Not usually, but there are some cases in which you might. 1.

If the child is disabled, there is no cut off age for ending child support. The non-custodial parent will continue to owe child support for as long as the disabled child lives with the custodial parent.
