If there has been a child support order then the matter was probably not dismissed and you can take a judgment in the original case. Get copies of your file for review. Once you have the file, you may fax a copy of the file to me and I can tell you what needs to be done. You will probably not need to appear in court. You can get a copy of the file by writing to the clerk of the court, business office, with a self addressed stamped envelope. Enclose a blank check made out to the court with the notation "not to exceed $25" to cover the costs of copying the file. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
