Re: no child support

No. His failing to follow the court order does not legally excuse you from doing so. If you need help getting the original court order enforced, you might consider filing a Motion for Contempt. We do these all of the time, and we can often obtain a court order requiring the other side to pay or contribute to your attorney's fees. Please feel free to contact me for a consultation.
