Re: child support obligation
An order for child support remains in effect until it is changed. Thus child support will continue to accrue until the court changes it. If you believe that you were not properly served you should file a motion to set aside the order as soon as possible. Along with that motion you should request that child support be set to $0.00, until you are released from prison and get a job.
