Now, let me preface this by saying laws vary from state to state and I can only speak for the laws in mine (CA).
I work for the agency that collects child support/issues the order etc. I can tell you that there is very little we can do for self employed people. If they don't pay we don't arrest them, we don't put out bench warrants etc. All we can do is: 1. suspend their driver's license 2. suspend their passport 3. do bank levies 4. Put a lien on any property they have their name attached to 5. intercept any tax refunds 6. suspend any professional licenses (contractors etc)
It really doesn't matter what he "reports" as we can't do anything with that information other than base any future support amounts on it.
We can take up to 50% of the pay directly from an employer, but the key is that they have to be employed by a real company (not self employed). The squeaky wheel gets some grease, but if somebody complains every week/month etc they will continue to get the same answer, we are working on it and if you can provide any additional information that would be appreciated. We don't make a dime nor do the courts from the money we collect. Any penny we collect (including interest) is given to the custodial party or used to pay back any welfare the custodial parent has received. Whether we collect $1 (people do pay that much) or collect $250,000, not a penny lands in our budget. We are funded by Federal money and State money, not even a local penny.
The good news is that the debt can't be eliminated with a bankruptcy and we will often hold cases open for years (until the dependents have kids and become clients....) trying to collect.
I wish her the best in collecting, but it isn't easy on self employed/unemployed people.
