    You keep taking him back to court every time he gets the job.
    Even though he quits it is worth putting him through the wringer.
    I didn't keep pursuing support with my ex and I am still kicking myself for that.

    He may never do those things. Your child has a right to the money though. You may not be getting it now but as long as the order is in place, it will haunt him until he pays up. You say he's working at least a little bit; is he filing taxes? If so, you could at least get that money if he were getting a return.

    Plus, as long as he has an outstanding support order, he will find out he can't live happy-go-lucky. They are clamping down on deadbeat dads so he may lose his license, won't be eligible for certain loans, and can't get a passport. As Nohelp said, Stay on it!
