Collecting Non Custodial Parents Tax Return For Arrears Owed

I am a 100% custodial parent of 3 children, the non-custodial parent (father) has not seen his children in 16 years and has not paid any support until the last 3 years my case with the Orange County DA has been open since 1994. I attempted once, approximately 1 year ago, to have the case reviewed for re-assessment of the $441 per month that I was awarded in 1994 only to be denied because any increase in the support would create a poverty situation for the father. As of the beginning of 2010 I am owed $99,362.00 in arrears, aside from collecting monthly payments that are being garnished from his wages am I entitled to receive any IRS tax refund that he may be due, if so, how do I go about obtaining his refunds?
