The penalties may depend on the jurisdiction in which the payments are ordered, but often include wage garnishment and license suspension. A person may also lose the right to obtain a passport as a penalty for failure to make child support payments. Some jurisdictions will even divert tax refunds to the parent who is owed child support money. In cases in which child support payments are seriously past due and involve large amounts of money, a person may even spend time in prison as a consequence of not paying child support.
