Civil court judgements against an individual will not endanger a permanent resident's status. However, criminal court proceedings (both in the US and a person's home country) have to potential to affect a person's US Immigration status. The status of your child custody arrangement will have an impact on US immigration's viewpoint, too. While Family Court is usually a civil concern, it can have criminal overtones, too, particularly if you are seriously in arrears and have had a bench warrant issued for failure to pay.

You should talk to an immigration lawyer in the US, and possibly have them speak to a Family Law attorney in Canada, as the exact nature of your situation will undoubtably be complex, and there is no good general answer that can be given here.
