You should discuss that issue with an advocate at the court that has jurisdiction over your case or your attorney. You may need to petition the court for a modification of the child support order and file a motion for contempt of the current order to set the amount of the arrears. Once arrears have been set you have extraordinary resources that can be accessed through Child Support Enforcement in your jurisdiction.
