Help for a friend

Hi ladies,

 I need some help and since you ladies deal with this on a normal basis, who better to ask? :)

Background:

 Dad and Mom have young children together, they divorced. Their agreement was a 5/2//2/5, they had joint custody and no child support was ordered. Mom started making very poor decisions that directly affected the girls (moving in with random guys every two weeks, leaving them alone with the said men, sending them to school in MOLD covered clothes -school got involved and threatened to call DHS- the list goes on, but you get the idea).

 Dad filed for custody giving Mom EOWE & the standard alternating holidays. Never went to court, Mom signed. Dad agreed to no CS because she said she couldn't afford it, she was trying to get her life together. She was ordered, per the agreement, to pay half of daycare and they would readdress CS after she got out of school. She quit school but never paid CS or a dime toward daycare. 

Years later she now has supervised visitation, and again, she just signed the papers when Dad filed. Child support was still not ordered (yes, I realize how stupid this was from the beginning) She still has not paid a dime toward daycare and owes thousands at this point.

Question:

Dad now wants to file for support. She is still making horrible choices, much worse than before, and is not "getting her life together" so he doesn't see the need to give her a break anymore. How does he go about filing? Ive called DHS and they say he has to have an atty. Ive called atty's and they say he can just get the paperwork from the courthouse and file. Ive called the courthouse and they say they dont have the paperwork.. try DHS. and the cycle continues. What does he do? The papers read something like "per mutual agreement no child support is ordered at this time"

How does he get it ordered??

Thank you in advance!

    In my state I go to the Domestic Relations part of the court all the forms are online and can be filled out and mailed/faxed or dropped off.

    Google your state Child Support forms and see what comes up.
