Late on Child Support, with extenuating circumstances.?

I have been divorced for more than 6 years. My ex is supposed to pay $70 a week in child support. He had more or less kept up with that up until he was shot this past January. He kept up with the support until the end of March. Now, he owes $1260 in support because he hasn't had a job and he's living off of his parents and the state. I have tried to be understanding because he has had to have physical therapy, but it has put a financial strain on me. I don't know what my options are. How do I go about getting back child support from a guy who's living off the state and his parents? I feel bad, but my family is suffering because the money is not forthcoming. He has told me that he expects a settlement, but the time frame keeps changing. Meanwhile, we keep rearranging bills. Any advice?

Feel sorry for him,but not to the point your child suffers.My ex had surgery,on his back,and was getting disability payments,BUT he still had to pay.I gave him a little time,but it comes to a point when you cannot keep being nice.When he can afford to have fun,enjoy himself,that was my cut off point.Take him to court and start getting what he owes your child.Good luck!P.S.IF his parents can take care of him,then maybe they can help him take care of his child and their grandchild too!!
