Yes you can collect child support. You can do it through the Family Court in an Action for Support. Or you could file a petition for legal separation or for divorce, and seek a temporary Order which would include his being required to pay an amount for child support. Or, perhaps, if you can trust him, you could just make a deal with him that he will pay a given sum each month. (Put it in writing.) Best of all, retain an experienced family law attorney to advise and represent you.
