His move to Tennessee does not mean that he does not pay child support. You would need to file a motion for contempt for his failure to pay child support.

You need enroll your Florida Order in Tennessee and have the court require the father to pay the child support by wage assisgnment.

Boy is he in for a surprise! Call the child support division of the District Attorney's office where he lives. For more info, see www.gsmithlawfirm.com
