First, do you know from whom he is getting the money? Do you have an order establishing arrears? If the $13,000 has accumulated from an original order to pay support, you should file an Urgent Motion for Contempt, citing that the father is about to get this money, and then the judge can order that he pay the past due support to you. There are also remedies to try and seize the money owed before it is disbursed, but what is involved to do so goes beyond the scope of a brief answer.
I suggest you call the Judicial Assistant to the judge handling your case and that person may be able to assist you with getting a quick hearing to get before the judge if you explain your situation.
Best of luck to you,
