He's working for cash (under the table) and as long as he is able to do so the state will probably be unable to collect support payments. State support enforcement agencies use wage garnishment to collect child support and locate employers using a new hire registry. Non payers that want to avoid this often work for cash or simply slip from one job to another when the wage garnishment is served. Let the state do their job. Avoid the "non profit" support collection agencies, most of them take a percentage of anything they can collect. If he is indeed working for cash, it is not likely they will be any more successful collecting the support than the state. As long as he keeps no assets in his name and does not have a reported job there is little that can be done. If you are aware of where he may be working have someone go and videotape him at work, the judge will be very interested in seeing this. If you are aware of any assets in his name (auto, home, bank accounts etc.) provide this information to the state - other than real estate most property can be seized and sold under court order to pay your obligation. In the case of real estate a lien can be placed on the home, even if he is only a joint owner. The reality is you may sporadically see a payment for support - it is not likely it will ever be consistent while he works in this manner. You can take some comfort from the fact that if he is either this interested in avoiding the support or simply this irresponsible, he will never have a decent long term job. Cash jobs are always short term and unreliable as a source of income. For now, he has a "girlfriend" who is apparently supporting him. At some point she will "wake up and smell the coffee" and he will be without anything. Another comfort for you.
