Absolutely...there is no safe haven in the United States for those who dont pay child support, nor should there be. Oh and before anyone comes at me with "you obviously dont know what its like not to be able to find employment and pay child support" well I am way behind and cant find a job myself, but some way I am going to get it paid!
