You already have full custody de facto. You should file for a motion to modify custody if your custody is not sole custody in the court order. You should also file for enforcement of child support arrears and start to collect, since it is harder to collect large sums than at the beginning. The child support services agency can help you collect the money.

The family law facilitator in your local county can help self represented individuals.

Please contact an attorney in your area prior to taking any legal action.

Good luck,
