In New York, if there is already a court order to pay support, the custodial parent can return to Family Court or Supreme Court (wherever the order came from) and file to enforce the order of which the non-custodial parent is in violation. This will need to be properly served on the non-custodial parent in their state. In cases where the non-custodial parent cannot appear, they can sometimes arrange for telephonic appearance.
If your question is asking about how the custodial parent needs to proceed in TN, then I cannot answer that, as I am a registered New York attorney.
