Child Support in Federal Prison

I was wondering if anyone knew about when child support is ordered when your loved one is in prison. My husband has a child from a previous marriage and a recent court date child support was ordered. My hubby was told that she will only get $25 every 3 months or quarterly but the court here has to petition the prison for it and all. Any information is great. Thank you.

I'm not sure in that case. My husband had to pay me child support from prison. We are still married and I give him money to live on in prison so why he has to pay me we have no idea. So I'm not sure about court order for another child from a previous marriage. Sorry I coudn't be more help. Maybe ask his attorney.

I am not too sure about having to pay from prison, but I do know this for a fact, The courts can not hold you the wife responsible for paying support on another womans child. The only exception is if you have legally adopted the child. I know this is not exactly what you are looking for but it is all I am sure of.
