Lets start with the basics. You have an order out of a state family court for the payment of child support, requiring the father of your children to pay 200.00 per week. I dont know if that order was entered out of a family court in NJ or elsewhere, but presuming you live in NJ, you have the right to ask for its enforcement through the probation department, which means that you will go down to the probation department to open an account and you will also provide them with whatever information you have as to the fathers employment in Oklahoma, telephone number, etc. The probation department can then proceed with an application before the family court to reduce the amount owed to a judgement against him and then they can send that order ( reducing the amount owed to a judgement) to the Oklahoma probation department system for enforcement. The Oklahoma probation department system will then enter it in their system and move to garnish his pay and forward the money collected to your local probation department account.    My sense is that you have been calling people in the child support sections of the court system for assistance but they cannot help you unless and until the proper procedures have been followed.
