Yes, you can still sue him for child support. You can call the attorney general's office that handles child support collections and they will start the process. However, it does take a long period of time probably six months. They have to investigate how much money he makes from his employeer. You can also obtain a family law lawyer to sue him in court, but this is much more expensive that going through the AG's office.
