Don't get sucked into his "poor me" routine -- you have yourself and your kids to take care of. I'm assuming he has two arms and two legs; that should mean he should be able to get a job somewhere.
Absolutely, positively, take him to court for child support. Not sure where you live, but here in MA you can apply online, and when you go to court, a clerk figures out what he will pay based on his income. You don't even need to see the judge unless you want to alter the order. Then the DOR will go after him if he doesn't pay, and will garnish his wages if necessary, even if he is collecting unemployment.
Taking my EXABD was one of the best decisions I ever made...and we were getting along at the time!
