Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Child Support for kids with a parent in jail

My childs father was granted an ''abate to accrue'' court order for his child support when he was in prison. I was not notified about the hearing or court order until years after the courts granted the order. Does this mean he has to pay it when he gets released?
