Hello. My answer is no. It is quite probable that the unemployed non-custodial parent will be ordered to appear in court every thirty days with a job diary. This allows the court to determine whether the unemployed parent is actually seeking employment. However, the spouse of the unemployed parent is not liable for the child support.
