Re: child support
Hire a lawyer to file for enforcement and contempt. Depending upon the amount of back support, and the likelihood of collection, some attorneys will do this either on a percentage collected or based upon the court's order that he pay your attorney fees. It all depends upon the situation.
Re: child support
You might be able to get a bond imposed - but I doubt it. It's up to you to try. But most judges see being 90 days behind a little differently than you do. Is there a wage withholding order? Is he self-employed?
