What are the consequences for a father who doesn't pay child support?

Laws differ between states. If the support is court ordered, then he can lose his drivers license and/or be put in jail. He MUST pay the court ordered amount and if he doesn't make enough, he needs to get another job. Most states can attach his wages. Remarriage has no bearing on child support. But will have on spousal support. Laws differ between states. If the support is court ordered, then he can lose his drivers license and/or be put in jail.
