Only a court has the right to stop child support. Your post does not state how long the child is incarcerated for, if the custodial parent is providing some incidentals while he/she is incarcerated, if the child is in a juvenile setting or was tried as an adult. I suggest you speak with an attorney who can obtain all the information and better advise you how to proceed.
