Getting a court order for child support means going to court. Obviously. Depending on your state, there might be special family courts for that, or it might be part of the general state trial court system. Also, while there are standard filing fees, most courts have a procedure for waving those fees in cases of financial need.
As to the attorney, the laws can be complex and it's a good idea to have one, especially if the opposing side has one. However, legal aid clinics, pro bono referral services, and just do-it-yourself filings are all potential options to explore.

There should be a "Child Support Enforcement" entity where you live. Call your local county/city government and ask them, or check the website of your locality for the Child Support Enforcement. Every state has one.

Well there isn't one, you need a lawyer and everybody knows lawyers and inexpensive don't usually end up in the same sentence.
