Legal Question in Family Law in California

Getting the financial support that my child deserves.

My daughter's father has chosen not to work since I have filed for suport. He lives in another state and he's living off of the sale of his home and business from CA. He is claiming not to have any money. His income from last year was approx. 85,000. Can I request the DA to ask for a back to work order form? Anad can he be held to the level of income that he;s use to having?
