Best Answer

If representing oneself the custodial parent/legal guardian should file the lawsuit in the appropriate court in the state in which you reside. Include in the filing a request for a subpoena of discovery to be served on the non custodial parent. This will require he or she (or their legal representative) to appear before the court and present valid documents providing their source(s) of income and the total amounts. If the non custodial parent does not comply to the order he or she can be (and probably will be) held in contempt of a court order.

If the custodial parent or legal guardian retains an attorney he or she will take the appropriate action to obtain the information concerning the self-employed non custodial parent's income and assets.

If there is a court order for child support on the dad, and he works for himself he will have to send the payments in each week. If he is not paying, contact the child support agency and explain that he works for himself and ask the agency to intervene.
