A child support order is valid even when the person has been incarcerated, it is not "placed on hold". One of the terms of his or her release will be that they pay child support arrearages.
If the person owns property and/or assets they can be seized and sold or have be incumbered by a lien even while the person is imprisoned.
The custodial parent can enlist the aid of private counsel to take action against assets and/or property or file a request with the state's division of child support enforcement.
