I feel your frustration, friend. If I were in arrears and my ex walked into court, by herself and without representation, she would certainly be able to enter a wage-garnishment order and/or have a warrant out for my arrest that day. It's sexual bias and a flaming example of the contradiction in our society today. Women's lib was meant to bring equality, yet we continue to see the gross inequality in the sexes.
Someone previously called Family Law a "soft" branch of law, and there is where the problems lie. Some clerk or judge saw your motion, and pictured this father trying to track down the (gasp) MOTHER of his child to make her responsible for her part of the parenting deal, then placed that motion in the "TO BE REVIEWED AT A LATER TIME" pile on the desk. There are some here that will be astonished at my suggestion, may even provide some obscure study to suggest otherwise, but practicality and common sense come into play here. While I don't know for sure, I doubt that there is a 14 month backlog of delinquent child support cases in your county.
My suggestion is this: there are a lot of tutorials and guides to accomplishing many legal tasks on this site and many other Father's Rights sites. Your case is different than probably a lot of dads, in that you were lucky enough to get custody of your daughter, but you may be able to file some sort of petition or complaint, on your own, which may expedite the process.
I am finishing an ordeal to have more time with my own daughter, and have learned just how worthless attorney's can be. Please don't can your attorney, just try doing a little research and work on your own. I learned a lot myself by studying this stuff on my own.
