Garnishing Ex Husband's Wages From Divorce Child Support Order

My ex-husband was required to pay $600.00 a month child support since 2004. He lives in Georgia and I live in Delaware. He is not consistent in paying and recently has not paid any support since April 2010. He gets our daughters for the summer so I do not expect him to pay for the months of June, July and August. He does not honor the visitation schedule but since he gets them for the summer, I am ok with that. He gets to see them when he wants and he pays the support when he wants.

My water was recently turned off and I had to borrow money to get it turned back on. I have not been back to court to ask for an increase/modification or anything. I just want him to pay the $600.00 a month that was ordered in the divorce decree. If his wages are garnished, I won't have to keep running to the bank to check to see if he put money in nor do I have to call, text or email him when the money is not in the account. I run the risk of him not getting the children at all but at least I will have the financial support needed to help raise our daughters.
