Q: I filed for child support 10 years ago in Louisiana and they have never been able to serve him to establish paternity.

I currently live in Illinois. I believe he still lives in La but we have had no contact. If they are never able to serve him does that mean my case will never go anywhere. Do I need to hire a lawyer to help establish paternity and child support and should the lawyer be in IL or Louisiana?
