Hello, Anonymous.
Assuming there is already a court order for child support that has created a legally binding obligation for the father to pay, then you can report his non-payment to the court with a filing, and the Judge will decide how to handle the situation; the Judge will most likely look at his financial situation and order him to remedy the situation in any number of ways. A refusal to show up in spite of proper notice could indeed possibly result in the Judge issuing a Body Attachment, which acts like a warrant and will result in his arrest and being brought by the Sheriff to the courthouse; but you must demonstrate proper notice.
I hope this helps.
