This depends on if the father has an income while he is incarcerated,such as income from a business that the father owns and that is still able to operate without him while he is in prison or if the father is eligible for a work release program from the prison or if the father is eligible for an inmate job in the prison..

Can a parent who owes back child support be held in contempt of court?
The court would be unlikely to reward the non-support of a child by taking custody from the custodial parent and granting custody to the delinquent parent. There must be a compelling reason for the court to make such a drastic change in the child's living arrangement. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.

Do you have to pay back child support if you pay child support now?
Yes. If you have accumulated arrears (back support) even though youre paying support now, that back support is still owed. What happens is that the state where your case resides calculates what your regular support obligation is PLUS a certain dollar amount representing the back support for example if your current support is $100/week and they attach, say, $25 to help pay arrears, your weekly obligation would be $125 until the arrearage is satisfied.
So, just because you are paying now does not wipe out what you might have owed in back support, youll still have to pay it eventually.

Yes. It is now known that it can be diagnosed in childhood, since the underlying brain dysfunction is present at birth.
It was up until very recently believed that children cannot be diagnosed as psychopaths; the newest research, recently published, says that it starts in the womb. The condition is inborn and, so far, incurable. But neuroscience will almost certainly be able to develop some way of compensating for and even partially correcting this terrible condition with the use of computer chips and other artificial implants in the brain, and as well a certain type of specialized inpatient therapy geared to awakening as much as is possible in the person as soon as the condition is diagnosed.
== == And if you possibly can, find someone trained by Dr. Robert Hare of Canada; he has developed a specialized type of therapy that will help child psychopaths (sociopaths) veer off the destructive path and have the best life the illness allows! Arguably, he is the ONLY one who knows how to train therapists to deal with sociopaths, and has a special type of therapy developed for children with this devastating mental illness.
See his BOOK, "Without Conscience," available at online bookshops, and you'll be able to understand much more.
One of the problems with anything wrong with one's central nervous system is that if it's severe and pervasive enough, it can interfere with the autonomic and peripheral nervous systems as well. In psychopaths, such maladies as what was once called neurasthenia (a state of unnatural sedation) or epilepsy (seizure disorders) are far more frequent than in the general population. Many people who are not psychopaths have some of the more than 100 forms of peripheral neuropathy, but some of these may be more common in psychopaths.
The autonomic nervous system, which prepares the body for emergencies (fight-or-flight) is erratic and inefficient in a psychopath, which can, in some situations, lead to fatal accidents; human beings have adrenaline for a reason, and the sympathetic nervous system of a true psychopath is sluggish and cannot sustain arousal for long. (In Borderline Personality Disorder, the problem is the opposite: the sympathetic nervous system responds too easily, too strongly, and way too often!)
Aside from this is the fact that a true psychopath has an extremely peculiar brainwave pattern: while awake, their brain waves most resemble a hybrid of normal waking brain waves and alpha-level sleep waves. And they often tend to sleep deeply.
Emotionally, they are cold, detached, distant, and yet deeply resentful of normal people. They know they're missing something, and often spend most of their typically short, tragic lives avenging themselves on others for what they cannot ever enjoy. So they are not truly emotionless, but they do not love, do not know true joy, and are hostile and destructive.
This ISN'T the work of the Devil; it's Nature gone horribly awry. ANYTHING THAT CAN DAMAGE THE DEVELOPING NERVOUS-SYSTEM IN A FETUS OR VERY YOUNG CHILD CAN CAUSE OR SEVERELY EXACERBATE THIS CONDITION.
THAT INCLUDES STREET DRUGS, ALCOHOL, and even SMOKING!!!
It also includes some medications; check with your obstetrician before taking anything at all during your pregnancy!
During delivery, using a forceps to grasp the baby's head should be avoided if at all possible. Any touching of the area over the FONTANEL (soft spot on top of the baby's head) must be done with caution until the fontanel has closed.
Any head injury that causes dizziness -- even without loss of consciousness -- should be treated as a medical emergency.
And another thing: NEVER SHAKE YOUR BABY!!! NO MATTER WHAT!

Can you reverse the termination of parental rights in Nevada?
YES, you can reverse your decision if it is a voluntary termination of parental rights (as in, you chose to terminate your own rights), IF AND ONLY IF, there has been no court hearing in which that decision was finalized. There is a limbo period of time in which the termination is not "official." This is a usually a few months, but can be shorter or longer, depending on the other party's counsel and the courts. You need to act quickly! Notify the attorney in writing and also verbally that you revoke your decision to terminate your parental rights. Hire an attorney to do this, so that your attorney can verify that your revocation was received by the opposing party. If your parental rights have been terminated by an opposing party due to negative evidence against you (this is called an involunatary termination, a whole different ballgame), you can still try an appeal. There are a few grounds in which you can have the decision reversed. As always, getting a good attorney and having all your information and evidence in order is a must.

Does the father have to pay for the court ordered paternity test?
If the court has established a child support order, violating the order and refusing to pay child support carries penalties up to and including jail time. If the order was established before a paternity test can be taken, you must still pay the child support. If the paternity test reveals that you are not the father, you will be reimbursed for the child support that you paid.
What are the child custody laws of CT?
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child.
Once filed for child support how many days does it take?
You may want to try calling the child support office and asking. I know that they have to serve the non custodial parent with papers and then set a court date. Once the court day comes they will set the child support obligation of that parent and give them a certain amount of time to have it paid. It may take up to a month or so IF the non custodial parent even decides to pay. Hope this helps.
