    No you can choose to go to jail for non payment if you prefer. I am sorry 25 dollars is most likely the state min and if and when you start earning any more money, you will have to pay more. Time to look at your budget, perhaps no internet, no cable TV, or something to pay for your child.

    He will still have to pay at least until the state is reimbursed for the amount it paid you in "welfare". I expect that he will also have to pay the amount the state is paying in insurance premiums.

    But his continuing CS obligation doesn't end until a judge or agency says it will end.
