What application process?

First ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

Second, father's are rarely jailed for not paying support. Generally only if there is a willful attempt to dodge support.

In most cases support is handled through an agency, so the payments are made to an agency and forwarded to the custodial parent. If there is good reason for the father to not know where the mother and child are, it can be kept secret, but it has to be a good reason.

The application process varies depending on where you are, what the case load and other factors.

Thanks, and I live in Texas.
