- At times an obligated parent may fail to procure health insurance coverage of the child as prescribed in section 1653.

Incurred liability can be coerced as child support debt as per judicial action or Chapter 65, Subchapter II, Article 3

- As per the order of the court, spouses and ex spouses of retired military personnel might direct half of the disposable retired or retainer pay for fulfilling spousal support and child support orders. The residence of the spouse or ex spouse or the date of spousal support or child support order cannot affect the above rule
- As mentioned in Title 14, Section 252, the court might detect that a defaulting person is guilty of contempt if there is a motion to enforce a support order and the court issues a summary process
