Look on your local Department of Human Services website. Child custody is different from state to state.

If the link takes you to a list of state statutes, scroll down and look for the phrase "Domestic Relations, "Family Law," or "Family Code."

GOOD LUCK
If he is not paying she can take him back to court, she can get DHS to take it out of his check, and get his tax returns.

go to the law library and spend time. also when you pettition the judge, include pics of the child so the child is not just another number. it makes it more personal. good luck!

The first thing you need to learn is that every state has different laws. I can't point you in the right direction because you didn't give your state.
