I've owed back child support for thirty years. My ex left the state of Illinois when pregnant and I never met my child. Now I get a Vietnam war Pension and wonder if Illinois can now put me in jail if I cannot pay back support.

A skilled financial/support attorney would need to discuss this matter with you in greater detail, & ask you many questions, in order to give you the complete, proper legal advice you need (& possibly a quote to represent you). Schedule a consultation ASAP. Once the matter has been resolved to your satisfaction, you'll be glad you paid the money to hire a quality attorney & properly protect your legal rights.

1 - you are not going to get put in jail 2 - the law is that there is no statute of limitations on the collection of back support, 3 - your disability pension is exempt 4 - only if you are in the system will there be any effort to recover the money you owe. 5 - pray that it has be "written off."
