Washington, IL asked in Child Support for Illinois

Q: I have not received court ordered child support for 27 months. What can I do?

My ex husband has never paid child support. We divorced April 1, 2016 in Tazewell County, Illinois. He has bounced around the country trying to hide. He is currently in Washington state, near Port Angeles. Address unknown. He is suppose to pay $400.00/month. He has been arrested in other states, including Florida, possibly Texas and Washington. His name is Steven Clark Cripe Jr. DOB 03/25/1977. He was also court ordered to pay bills including electric, credit cards, mortgage etc. and never did, causing me to file bankruptcy.
