If you don't pay your child support, your child(ren) won't receive the support they need and deserve. This could affect them in a number of ways.

Also, since you're required by law to pay your child support, you put yourself at risk for various enforcement actions. For more information on what can happen if you owe past support, see the Support Enforcement topic in Module 1.
