Yes and you should do it now. You can get an order established for arrears and request the obligors pay be assigned by their employer. Arrears do not go away even after the child reaches majority and the child support order has been terminated. Stay on top of the situation.

Yes - custody/visitation are a separate issue from child support. File contempt for nonpayment of child support.
Not likely, but there is an alternative. see links below
You can contact your local child support recovery unit for assistance with this issue. Your other option is to file a court order and charge him with contempt of court for nonpayment.
No, that's not legal in any state. You are jailed for contempt of court as a result of not obeying a civil court order.
First, it is an Urban Myth that fathers go for custody to avoid paying child support. First, who would support the children while in his custody? Less then 15% of mothers are ordered to pay, and depending on circumstances, the custodial father is often still ordered to pay child support.
The non-custodial parent has the right to file a motion against the custodial parent based on the same. As a result, the non-compliant parent may be held in contempt of court. If they are, penalties may include a monetary fine, jail or modification to the original custody order.
The non custodial parent is obligated to follow the terms of the child support order until the court amends or rescinds it. Arbitrarily ceasing support payments regardless of the circumstances might place the non custodial parent in a position of contempt of court.
The custodial parent can take you to court for contempt and the court can issue a new order for payment of the arrears. At the request of the custodial parent, the state may take various actions to collect that support, such as asking the courts to put you in jail for contempt, taking your tax refund or serving a wage assignment on your employer. You should be making payments against the arrears. You may be able to negotiate a cash settlement for a lesser amount if you can borrow the money to pay the arrears. For example, the custodial parent may agree to accept $15,000 if paid immediately.
Generally the obligor is responsible for paying the arrears even if the child reaches the age when support is no longer required. However, the custodial parent must stay on top of the issue and file the necessary motion for contempt and/or child support enforcement claim.
Go to the court which issued the support order and file a motion for Contempt of Court against him.
Yes. The custodial parent and/or if involved state child support enforcement agency can sue for child support arrearages. If a judgment is granted it can be executed as a lien against the non custodial parents vehicle or other property.
If there is a court order for visitation privileges it must be obeyed. Visitation and child support are treated as two entirely different issues. Just as an obligated parent is in contempt of a court order when they do not pay the mandated child support a custodial parent could be in contempt for not adhering to the visitation terms.
