I have a dumb question though, lol -- is child support different than owing money to a creditor? I only ask because I didn't think that you could go to jail for owing money to someone, although I'm guessing in this case it's different because it's his obligation to his child, and that is ongoing? |
He can go to jail for failing to pay COURT ORDERED child support. Failing to pay means he is in contempt of court - so off to jail he goes. Also, if you are a certain amount behind in child support, it can go on your credit report.
