Whether or not you can collect the monies owed is questionable. However, the custodial parent can and should file suit for support and use the judgment in whatever manner is allowed under the laws of the state.

That could mean the garnishment of unemployment benefits or public or private pension or disability benefits. Levy of the obligated parent's bank account. Lien against real property owned by the obligated parent and so forth.

The law does not accept the inability of a parent to support his or her minor child/children. The parent will be forced to find employment or other source of income to honor his or her financial obligation or face legal repercussions. Perhaps the suspension of their driver's license or possibly incarceration.
