A: A person who owes support and willfully fails to pay is ignoring a court order to pay support, so he or she can be prosecuted for being in contempt of court and may go to jail.

This bill would, as of January 1, 2023, require a local child support agency to cease enforcement of child support arrearages and otherwise past due amounts owed to the state that the Department of Child Support Services or the local child support agency has determined to be uncollectible, as specified.

In California, consistent failure to pay child support can result in a felony charge. This is when the parent who should be paying support owes more than $2,500 in back payments.

Although the consequences are severe, child support arrears can be forgiven in the State of California. There are multiple ways in which a parent can have their child support arrears waived or forgiven: Parents are allowed to ask the court to recalculate the amount owed to make sure that it is correct.

California has no statute of limitations on past due child support payments; child support is enforceable until paid in full.

A fine up to $1,000 and a sentence of up to five days in jail per count of contempt (typically, judges don't impose the fine, since that money could go toward past due child support) Community service (up to 120 hours) for a first or second contempt, and up to 240 hours for a third case of contempt.
