Re: child support
Absolutely. The OAG tracks employment that is reported to IRS. If you have an attorney, however, you can force him into a hearing where a judge will decide if he is willfully un/under-employed. If so, he can be jailed for contempt. Talk to lawyers in your area, many will work on a payment plan.
