Ramsey, don't answer if you don't want to divulge details, i just have general comments. were you in court and listening? the judge should have made very clear what was to be done to compel payment(s). you can put a lien on his house(s) but they would have to be sold before you'd collect.
i hope the judge looked at his bank acct. and set a lump sum to pay NOW towards arrears.
if the order from court is specific enough you could have him jailed if necessary. they end up in a cell with a "pay or stay" order. usually they will pay.
like many judgements you could end up having to pursue him for it. depends on how much he wants to evade responsibility.
i hope you get the bulk of your kids' arrears and regular support after this. most guys rather comply than be in contempt of court.
you need to get the orders clear and in writing ASAP. your attny. should make you aware of orders/terms immediately.
