A: She needs to file an Income Withholding for Support to garnish his wages. In terms of arrears, she should file a Verified Entry of Support Judgment, with interest calculated, and then garnish on that, too. These things can be technical and she may want to consider hiring an attorney to help. Contempt of court is also another option.

A: She can get an income assignment which will garnish his wages on a current basis. She can also get a judgment for the arrearages. this will enable her to garnish his wages and bank accounts and put a lien on his real estate. Also, she can cite him for contempt of court. If found to be in contempt, the court can put him in jail until he pays. She should retain an attorney to help her with this.
