It is important to remember that making child support payments will not only directly impact your life, but also your child’s and any other family members who have to contribute money to support them. For instance, a parent may lose custody of a child for failing to pay child support if they are sentenced to a stint in prison and no longer have the ability to care for the child due to being incarcerated. Therefore, one does not normally affect the other unless the circumstances constitute an exception. For one, the parent who has custody is usually not the parent who is legally obligated to make child support payments. This can happen when a parent has failed to pay child support for an extended period of time (usually around a year or when the amount owed surpasses $5,000). This may lead to the non-custodial parent having to pay fines or serving a short jail sentenc


Sometimes, the sentence might be to stay in jail until the amount owed is paid in full. The length of the sentence a judge can impose depends on state law. It’s unlikely that a court will order punitive sanctions unless the obligor has acted in a manner that is disrespectful of the court or has intentionally withheld child support. If the obligor doesn’t attend, the court can issue a warrant for their arrest. But they can also get help from a state or tribal child support agency at a low cost—and without the need for a lawyer. If they have the financial resources, they can hire a local family law attorney to help them navigate the enforcement process.

Significant Change in Circumstances
This means that the court child support is based on determining the parent’s potential income, rather than their actual income. For example, support payments may be reduced if the parent who has custody over the child inherits money, gets a large raise, or otherwise has an increased ability to support the child. You can request a modification if your income has changed in a lesser amount, but you are not guaranteed a change in the support order. For example, in Maryland, if one parent's income has changed (either gone up or down) by at least 25%, this is usually enough of a change to require changing the support order.
