Child support payments are a necessity for many divorced parents. Most households use two incomes to raise their children. When one of those incomes is gone, the children’s quality of life can decline. Support payments make it easier for parents to keep their children fed, clothed, clean, educated, and safe. If the father has no job, you may be worried about how you’re going to support your children after your divorce. In many cases, a jobless father can still be liable for child support payments.
