What happens when the father doesn’t pay child support?

Question

I’ve heard many things but what can truly happen?

Answer

After so many months they will have their wages garnished and could lose their drivers license and/or get jail time.

Answer

Nothing really happens I mean license suspended, jail time, but the most important is a bill being racked up and your child not getting all the help to they should, and WHY NOT?

Answer

They can garnish his/her pay, tax away drivers license, jail time and walking around know they’re a giant POS.

Answer

Garnish wages/tax returns. Lose licenses. In my husband's line of work they can lose their Journeyman's license too which messes with their jobs and income. Then contempt of court and jail time.

Answer

Sucks Cause My Kids father is in prision so I wont get a dime .
Before he never paid , so its like nothing happened to him .

Answer

They can garnish his wages, take his tax returns, and even send him to jail.

Answer

As mentioned, if that parent still fails to pay, the court can hold him or her in contempt of court (for failing to follow a court order) and impose a jail term. ... Regardless of what consequences are imposed, the fact is that you do have options if your ex doesn't pay child support.  - Google
