should i just give up on ever getting child support?

my ex owes me over 50k and has never paid child support because 1) he was 'starting' a business that never got started and now 2) he's still unemployed. apparently these are 'loop holes' in the law. i want to go to court, but that will cost me money to find out that he doesn't have to pay because he is unemployed. what to do?

go to court anyway...to get him motivated to find a job
give up....i'll never get the back support...ever
negotiate a deal with him - give him a date to get a job and then go to court.

I am actually going to court for child support tomorrow (again)! My ex is only a little over $7000 behind, but he has already been arrested twice and spent 6 months on house arrest. I am assuming that he will probably be arrested again tomorrow, since he is unemployed again. He has done everything in his power to avoid paying any support, including quitting jobs and blaming ME for him not being able to find a better one. Good luck, but as Jimmy V. once said, "Don't give up. Don't ever give up."

USE THE WEB TO TRACK DOWN THE LAWS AND SEE IF YOU CAN TALK TO A LAWYER ON THIS WITH A FREE CONSULTATION. I'VE LEARN A LOT THIS WAY AND YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY TO MAKE HIM PAY YOU, SO DON'T GIVE UP. YOUR IN THE RIGHT.
