Court Ordered Drug Rehabilitation

he is the type of person who dosen’t like to work and has only held about two jobs in his lifetime, how can i go about enforcing child support from him? we have been to court several times in the past and the only dime he has paid was when they arrested him for failure to keep a court order, but that was in nassau county, now im in the county of kings, how does this work, cant they make him get a damn job hes a lazy individual , by the way whom was not like that when i met him. and for some reason it’s always the niceness in the begining.

My wife’s Ex lost his job and went to drug rehab for 3 months back in 2007. He didn’t pay her child support during that time, but when he got out she verbally agreed to allow him to pay 400 a month instead of the court ordered 641.

Now, he is taking her to court to get the child support recalculated, which is fine. However, he is refusing to pay the back child support.

My question is since she agreed to let him pay 400 a month until he got back on his feet, will a court award her the back child support of the difference between the 400 and 641?
