Child Support from Prisoners
Child support obligations are not discontinued if the obligor is unable to make the payments. The unpaid support will accrue until it is properly paid, unless you agree to have payments deferred until the non-custodial parent is released and working. But why would you do that? If, while, in prison there are wages earned through a work release program, these earnings can be garnished for child support. If the non-custodial parent has assets or real property, you can receive an execution whereby the property is seized and sold, and whatever support is owed to you is then paid. This can be complicated, and cost money. You need to decide if it is worth it.

My ex-husband is in prison and has requested his child support be reduced to zero. He has money and a truck that his family has. I need help to fight his request. He should not have the right to deny his child a good life.
