There is no set number of missed child support payments that will send a parent to jail. However, you are probably risking jail time if you miss three months of payments in a row. Typically, delinquent parents will only be sent to jail if they don't have a job to lose or are repeat offenders.
You Can be Sent to Jail If a parent willfully refuses to pay child support, he or she can be jailed as punishment. This is a little different than civil contempt, where jail is used to coerce a delinquent parent to pay. Here, jail is ordered to punish the parent.
