More details to this question:
I have sole physical custody & we share legal custody. There is a court order set to back pay about 1700.00 and then he is obligated to pay 210.00 a month. Looking at the monthly statements he has missed a month and sometimes pays double the next month. Although there are many months were he has just payed around a third of what he owes for the month.

The judgment for past due child support is probably stayed provided he makes his full payment plus an additional 20%. If he doesn't, you could act on the back support judgment or enforce the order through an order to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court.
