Is he working? You need to contact your case worker to find out about the status of your case. Is he residing out state? These cases are more difficult to enforce because we are talking two states and the process and communication is slower. Another suggestion is request this case to be scheduled for enforcement. At the hearing you can request from the Judge or Hearing Officer to place him in a 2 missed payment status (It means that at any time if he misses 2 consequtive pymts a Bench Warant for his arrest can be issue. In that way, you'll eliminate the long wait of filing motions or requesting enforcement hearing). I hope that you can get the help that you need. I know how frustrating for you guys is the judicial system (I work for the Child Support Division). If I can help you in any way, do not hesitate to contact me.
