Dad is in jail and I want to sue for child support

I collected DES support for my youngest daughter when i moved to colorado from Az. For some reason her dad wasnt ordered to pay child support in az, but when i got the TANF in Co I assumed Co would go after him. My kids are now over the age of 18 and I have now moved back to Az. What can I do to get child support from their dad? I cant afford an attorney..HE IS IN JAIL RIGHT NOW FOR 2 EXTREME DUI's..Is now a GOOD time to try and get the law on my side to get past due child support? Also, He and I have a daughter who is permanently disabled and gets SSI but its not enough to barely meet her needs. In our divorce decree I didnt ask for monetary help, is it too late to get that from him too? By the way, my ex husband thought he could evade paying child support by buying a new house...and a new car...AND he will still have his management job at Fry's food when he gets out of jail...so its not like he cant afford child support! PLEASE HELP!

How long ago were you divorced and why wasn't a child support order issued at that time? Were your children over 18 already when you divorced?
