Yes. To do otherwise would put them in contempt of court and they could be fined heavily and/or arrested and put in jail.
But If you feel as if you don't owe the amount of back child support then you need to do a modification you can get all the info you need to do that from this site http://flchildsupportmodification.com/

∙ 14y agoYou would have to check with your state laws. I have an child support order in the state of IL. My son is now 20 and my ex owes me 34,000.00. Under the support order he must pay. The state has sent him a letter in which he has forwarded it to me hoping that I would help him by calling to stop the payment owed. The letter said that they are going to start taking his income tax return, refusal of a passport, and revoke his recreational and driver's license if he didn't pay up.

∙ 10y agoIf there was an order for child support arrears accumulated while the child was a minor, then this must be paid in accordance with the order.
If the support had been paid on time while the child was still at home or in school full time, then there would be no arrears to be paid.
