He will not follow custody order nor help financially

We agreed upon joint custody as he stated he could not afford child support...I just wanted him to be a father to his child...he has never taken the baby for visits nor visited her nor tried to assist financially...what do I do?

You can file an action for change of custody and establish a child support obligation at the same time. Feel free to consult my office for further assistance on this issue.
