The child is alive. He may get out of prison earlier than that. Not sure if it's possible that he'd still be responsible for back pay of the alimony. No idea how that works.
You get a job in prison; the pay is shit. Every penny he makes should go to that child
Found some US data. Not sure of current numbers because I didn't look that hard. Also these numbers are from memory because I'm too lazy to reopen the pages I found, so look at the sources themselves before you quote me on it.
Anyway, as of a few years ago in New Mexico they could take up to 50% of an inmate's pay to put towards restitution.
It looks like last year there was a rule proposed federally that would allow up to 75% of inmate wages to be garnished. Similar numbers for money coming from outside sources like commisary funds.
I also found a spreadsheet of inmate wages. And boy is it ugly.
Also I read somewhere that restitution orders are only good for 20 years. Not sure if that can be renewed after that or if that was the maximum time.
So basically the victims are fucked, the inmates are fucked, the state is fucked, and somehow private prisons are lucrative.

The child’s mother declined to speak out following Jack’s sentencing but said the child is doing fine.
I don’t know about the child support but the infant didn’t die.
I don't see any indication in the article or the linked FB post that he murdered the infant.
All to avoid paying child support. Jfc.
He should have fifty years in prison with meals and beverages that all contain the poison he used in his daughter’s breast milk.
