More details to this question:
The divorce was finalized in the state of Ohio in Lucas County. He took a job as an independent contractor to get out of having the alimony paid through the child support agency. Now he moved to Pennsylvania and will have no contact with me and stop paying support. He's court ordered to pay $1000 a month. My question is do I have to go to Pennsylvania to take him to court?The divorce was finalized in the state of Ohio in Lucas County.

No. You can file a motion to hold him in contempt in the Lucas County Domestic Relations Court. You may also want to check with the prosecutor's office. They can also seek to enforce the order through the Interstate Support statutes.

Review it with a local OH lawyer, but I think OH has jurisdiction and you file there.
