Best Answer

you go to ur lawyer and they will give you paper work to fill out and when you fill that out you will have a day to show up in court

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!

What can one do if the refuse to obey an order of the court affection child support and failure to provide copies of pay stubs?

When someone refuses to obey an order you can file a Motion for Contempt. You are basically telling the judge that this person is not obeying. A person found in contempt can be fined or even jailed. When a parent isn't paying the support, it's a common mistake is to stop permitting the parent to see the kids. Don't do that. Courts do not see child support and visitation as related things.

Is it possible to receive welfare checks without taking the father for child support?

Not in most States. It is the responsibility of PARENTS to support their children, not the State. The State will require the name of the other Parent who will either begin to pay support through the Courts or child support services, or be required to repay the State for taking the place of that parents financial responsibility.
