Rather than having him arrested, it would probably be a better solution for you in your child to just get the money. I would consult with a Chicago lawyer and see if there is a procedure under Illinois law to use the California order to attach his wages

Re: Non Payment of Court Ordered Child Support

If you have an order from the State of California then you may proceed to obtain a Judgment for support in California and register and enfoce the Judgment against him in Chicago. He may be prosecuted for lack of providing support for the minor child but you first have to open a case with District Attorney's Office for that purpose.
