Why on earth have you waited a whole year? You can, among other things, file a motion to have him held in contempt. You can sometimes collect your own attorneys fees from him if he is found to be in contempt. In addition he may be guilty of a criminal offense. Your best bet is to locate an experienced family law attorney and let him advise and represent you. It's usually worth the price.

If he pays through the office of child support enforcement-go there and they will help you- IF not-hire an attorney to file for contempt and then I would ask for a garnishment of his wages, his tax refund, etc.
