When is a father put in jail for not paying 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.

What are the consequences for a father who doesn't pay child support?

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.
