It sounds like you will need to have an attorney file a contempt action against the mother for failure to abide by a visitation order, assuming that there is one. If there is not one, then you will need an attorney to file the necessary petition to establish visitation rights with the child.

You cannot collect; however, your son can. Considering that your son is 21 years old, time is of the essence, because if he does not get a lawyer to file the necessary paperwork before he turns 28, then he will never be able to collect the back child support.
