Who do you call about unpaid child support?
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!
None of the above. You hire the best person you can work with as a team. A new attorney with a highly experienced paralegal can be as effective as an experienced attorney. The primary issue here is not the attorney, it's you! How much have you done to prepare? Do you keep a daily journal? Have you prepared a chronological statement? How many months of evidence have you put together? If you expect to just hand it over to an attorney to do everything, you are going to be spending a lot of money with no sure results. You need to prepare, than you interview 6-10 attorneys before choosing one to hire. See links below

Since a Child Support Order is a Court Order the Court can change their Order as they see fit, regardless of what the Non-custodial parent, or the custodial parent think. The Court does not need your "consent" to issue an order. The Non-custodial and custodial parent would receive notice of a Court hearing or administrative hearing prior to any changes being made to the Court's Order, so it is important to show up to the hearing!
This is not to be construed as legal advice, always seek the advise of an attorney to preserve your rights.

Section 611 also provides that the final, nonmodifiable aspects of a child support order may not be modified. For example, if the issuing state issued an order that child support terminates at age 21, the responding state cannot change that aspect of the order, even if support in the responding state ends at age 18. To make this Section work, Section 612 provides the deference to the support order of a sister state that was missing in URESA.
For purposes of illustration, let us take a number of examples where the parties are in different states. (Unless otherwise stated, assume that the custodial parent and child have been living in STATE 1 for the last six consecutive months.)
Example 1: Custodial parent and child are in STATE 1; noncustodial parent is in STATE 2. STATE 1 has issued an order; STATE 2 has not. The controlling order is in STATE 1.
Example 2: Custodial parent and child are in STATE 1; noncustodial parent is in STATE 2. STATE 1 has not issued an order; STATE 2 has issued an order. The controlling order is in STATE 2.
Example 3: Custodial parent and child are in STATE 1; noncustodial parent is in STATE 2. STATE 1 has issued an order; STATE 2 has issued an order. Assuming that the child has been in STATE 1 for the prior consecutive six months, the controlling order is in STATE 1.
Example 4: Custodial parent and child are in STATE 1; noncustodial parent is in STATE 2. STATE 1 has issued an order; STATE 3 has issued an order. The controlling order is in STATE 1.
Example 5: Custodial parent and child are in STATE 1; noncustodial parent is in STATE 2. STATE 1 has issued an order; STATE 2 has issued an order. This time, however, the child had been in STATE 1 for one month before STATE 1's order was issued; prior to that, the child had lived in STATE 2 for at least the prior consecutive six months. The controlling order is in STATE 2.
Example 6: Custodial parent and child are in STATE 1; noncustodial parent is in STATE 2. STATE 1 issued an order in 1990; STATE 2 issued an order in 1994. This time, the child has been in STATE 1 for one month and, prior to that, had been in STATE 2 for two months. The controlling order is in STATE 2.
Example 7: Custodial parent and child are in STATE 1; noncustodial parent is in STATE 2. STATE 3 has issued an order; STATE 4 has issued an order. There is no controlling order, and STATE 1 or STATE 2 may issue an order. The first order issued will have priority.
You are pregnant and the child's father doesn't want the baby. What should you do?
It is assumed that you are not married. The decision whether or not to have the baby is yours. If you decide to continue with the pregnancy, once the child is born you can request a DNA test through the family court system. The man you have identified as the father must comply. Once his paternity is established legally, the court will enter a child support order based on state child support guidelines and he can request joint custody and/or a visitation schedule.
Yes, but you'd have to file an amendment (order modification) to the existing order with a request for support for yourself.
