What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
7 years ago my ex and I had a judgement for child support - $700/month and half of child care and one weekend every other month. I have 100% physical and 95% legal custody. He has never paid $700/month. He averages about $200 a month and doesn't help with child care. He hands me a check, written out of his company's bank account ($201.78). He'll tell me he's not struggling this month. He sees his son off and on. No consistent basis. My son is now 10 and I am struggling financially to pay for before and after school care and live paycheck to paycheck. My ex is a consultant, so is self employed, drives a brand new Mercedes and lives extravagently. When I bring up the judgement, his response is always the same, "take me back to court and you will get nothing." I can't afford and attorney, I'm a teacher barely getting by. If I file with Child support services, is it likely that I will get nothing when they try to enforce the judgement???
