Re: Child Support not paid.
Generally, you can get an order setting off your hypathetical payments to him on a monthly basis. However, if the child is 18, or 19 and still in high school, you would have to pay child support. Otherwise you wouldn't. However, I'd go get a garnishment against him and start to collect on the judgment he owes to you.
