of unpaid child support, what do you mean? How was he "made aware"?

His Lawyer broke the law

When I say he was made aware I mean Child support enforcement sent him a withholding letter....to legally bind those monies. He was also made aware by a phone call and email via me.

What you did is not relevant. The letter from Child Support enforcement is. As Texas Pooh said, contact them. They will get your money if it was an official notification.
