Child support and visitation rights are separate issues. The court will determine both and will usually order the non-custodial parent to pay child support and the custodial parent to make the child available for visits. The custodial parent has a duty to obey the court order for visitation, even if the non-custodial parent cannot or will not pay child support. The court can enforce its orders against either parent.

Yes! Most states have laws that allow you to be arrested and placed in jail for up to six months for “contempt of court” (not paying child support). You may also be fined for each violation and have to pay attorney’s fees and court costs as well.

Child support is defined by law as the ongoing monetary expenditures and payments necessary to cover a child’s living and medical expenses.
