What steps do I take to collect child support from a parent in another state who won't respond to CSE orders?

Question

I am a single parent struggling with health problems and as a result, financial problems also. My daugther is 14 and has never recieved child support. I filed in April of 2007 with Child Support Enforcment in my state. Her father lives in another state. They have tried to send him orders for DNA testing, etc.,
by certified mail but he doesn't respond. I have doubled checked and the address I have is correct. I do not wish to have personal contact with him or his family. But CSE is not doing much to help. What can I do now? Should I seek legal representation? Is their legal help for people who can't afford to pay a lawyer? What is UIFSA and can it help me?

Each state is different.. I have no idea what state you or the father lives in and if both those states have different laws and guidlines for "UIFSA" Uniform Interstate Family Support Act.
And Yes they can help you. Call them...

Go to http://googles.com
Type in UIFSA for (your State)
or Uniform Interstate Family Support Act for (your State)
You should get some web site links for more information.
