Incarceration does not automatically relieve one of paying support that's due under any order that was in effect at the time of the obligor's incarceration. In such a case, the incarcerated parent should petition the court to terminated/suspend the obligation. Because support is based on ones income, incarcerated parents are typically not ordered to pay support.
In addition, followed by addressing the issue of incarceration, also address the probability to freeze fees as they will incur. Out of experience, I know someone that incurred fees while she was doing her time and had a rude awakening after seeing the bill. Although, there is the options to adjust as long as supporting documents are available.
