Child support is regulated by State courts and
thus is enforced by State jurisdictions. If
the parties reside in different states, federal laws
can also come into play.
In some jurisdictions, child support payments are
tied to visitation rights. If visitation rights are
refused by the custodial parent, the non-custodial
parent can petition the court to suspend support
payments. Other jurisdictions don't tie the two
together for fear of damaging the welfare of the
child.
Some jurisdictions require accountability for the
spending of child support payments while others do
not. Often non-custodial parents cite the lack
of accountability as one reason for withholding
support payments.
Parents who live in different states can find
themselves in violation of federal laws for not making
timely child support payments. Such laws provide
for fines and even imprisonment, in some cases, for
failure to make child support payments.
