I would start by paying your child support. If you make a good faith effort to pay, even if you are behind, they will generally have mercy on you. The judges and prosecutors know these are tough economic times, but they have been pretty hard on those who aren't paying anything. Particularly if your ex is drawing government benefits, and the child has a medical card, they have an interest in prosecuting you. So, work out a payment plan, and you won't go to jail.
