Depends on the reason and whether you qualify for a modification if there is a child support order in place. You need to file a motion with the court to have your child support order modified. You will need to prove to the court there has been a change in your circumstances that makes it more difficult for you to pay.

If there is no order in place the court will assess the situation and render a decision according to state guidelines.

How do you get child support if your sons father wont pay and you cant afford a lawyer?

You don't need a lawyer. You should have a good case anyway. I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!

Does the court take into account that the custodial parent files joint taxes with new wife and makes more then the non custodial parent that cant afford it?

Probably not - in general, child support is a percentage of the obligor's net income. A new spouse, whether married to the obligee or obligor, should not increase or decrease the child support obligation. As one of the child's parents, you are liable for at least a minimal amount of support regardless of the obligee's resources.
