A support order can be put in place based on historical earnings and an arrearage may indeed accumulate due to nonpayment. Eventually under these circumstances, he would be well advised to address a substantial arrearage lest it rise to the level of felony nonsupport. If he were to be charged with such a crime, he could spend some time in jail.
As far as marital debts, those will be sorted out along with marital assets in the divorce.
