There at least two: garnishment and contempt. Consult with a local attorney.

The court may look at his ability to obtaina job and make the child support payments based upon his ability. Also, if he has bank accounts and direct deposit, you may be able to subpoena those records to prove that he actually had a job, but refused to pay. If rents or pays mortgage, there may be records regarding his income.

You should interview several family law attorneys in yoru area, and select the one who best fits your needs and budget.
