Each state may hold slightly different laws in terms of the amount of child support an unemployed parent may be required to pay each month. In many cases, a noncustodial parent who finds him or herself unemployed will not see their child support obligations suspended or adjusted. Those who find themselves in this predicament should contact their attorney or their caseworker at their local child support agency to determine which steps they should take. After becoming unemployed, the parent should apply to see if they qualify for unemployment benefits. The unemployed parent may see child support taken out of any unemployment check they receive and may be required to pay the balance of the child support they could not pay while they were unemployed once they find a job. The unemployed parent may be given the opportunity to look for a job and go on job interviews and may be required to report any job interviews or job offers to an agency handling their case. They may be required to report the status of their job search every week, every other week or once a month. Each state may have different requirements and may make different decisions on an individual basis. Some states may go by the party's earning potential or what they had been earning in their last job. This helps to prevent people who had previously made $100,000 a year from claiming that they are only capable of earning minimum wage and paying child support on that salary. In some instances, a judge may give the unemployed parent a certain amount of time to find a job and may force him or her to do jail time if they cannot pay their child support. They may also take away their driver's license.
