A judge in Florid can award you child support. Getting child support is quite difficult when the person required to pay it has no income.
It is just like if the father did not see the child. He would have to pay child support. Visitation and custody are 2 separate things in the court system. Whether a parent sees a child or not, support is usually still issued. If the judge signed a support order and it is not payed, that parent can go to jail for unpayed child support.
It depends on the court and the persistence of the custodial parent. The custodial parents who are the most aggressive about pushing the court to enforce child support orders get the most results. Jail time results when the obligor refuses to payand not if they are trying to pay and have arrears.The legal basis for incarceration for non-payment of child support is contempt of a court order. The non-paying obligor can also be denied a passport and any type of license if they fall behind or refuse to pay child support payments. An arrest warrant for child support follows the defendant everywhere in the United States pursuant to the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement and Support Act. Tracking utilizes the social security number.
No.
Laws differ between states. If the support is court ordered, then he can lose his drivers license and/or be put in jail. He MUST pay the court ordered amount and if he doesn't make enough, he needs to get another job. Most states can attach his wages. Remarriage has no bearing on child support. But will have on spousal support. Laws differ between states. If the support is court ordered, then he can lose his drivers license and/or be put in jail.

You don't go to jail for non-payment of child support. It's for contempt of court, so it's up to the judge.
Yes.
There shouldn't be any jail time in a situation such as this - the objective is to ensure that the payments are made, and that has been done.
Up to the judge. Technically, it is contempt of court.
You don't and Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement ruled that arrears cannot accrue. Courts will typically order Huber in child support cases, especially if they are in jail for failure to pay support.
Either scenario is possible.
He needs to be out of jail so that he may support his child and to be held accountable
The obligee would have to convince a judge that such action would be in the best interest of the child.
I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck! In 2000, Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement issued an opinion that while incarcerated, child support cannot be applied or incurred.
No. Only payment or a judicial reduction will reduce the amount you owe.
Yes. Having to support a family definitely wil not keep you out of goal it's an interesting concept though. If your reference is can you go to jail while making payment on child support arrears, than yes, depending on circumstances. You can also go to jail while making less than the full payment, while waiting for your hearing date to have the child support modified due to a job lose. see links below if this is the case
Yes, in Montana, a person can be sentenced to jail for nonpayment of child support. However, the court typically considers various factors before imposing jail time and usually provides alternatives such as wage garnishment or payment plans. Generally, jail is considered a last resort for enforcing child support obligations.
