Who said he paid for the trip? Maybe his wife funded it. Or maybe they had saved for a while. Maybe some of his wife's family were going and they got a free ride. Honestly, it's none of your business where he goes or what he does or how he pays for it. Yes, he should pay child support and have a job. It wasn't very responsible to quit. But it's none of your business where he and his wife take vacations or how they pay for it.
Baby daddy quit his job & is behind 4 months child support.
He quit his job & doesn't have unemployment or anything, so he's behind on child support payments to me. He asked me to lower it to something he could afford each month but I didn't. He's supposed to pay $303 a month. He wanted me to lower it to around $50. I said no. After a few months of not receiving the full amount, I told him I'd lower it to $50 because something is better than nothing to help me, but he said "fuck it" because I didn't want to help him when he needed it. This week, he's on vacation to Florida with his wife! I asked him how he could even afford to go to Florida, but he just hung up on me. Is that even right? How can he not afford pay child support but can go to Florida?!
Edit: Yeah, my state does enforce child support. They took what he owed out of his income taxes but I haven't gotten it yet. He goes to concerts and events with his wife all the time. I told him I didn't want his stupid wife doing anything for my child, I don't want her buying clothes or anything for my kid. He doesn't have any money since it came out of his income tax so his wife is paying his bills and stuff until he gets a job. But I don't think he should get to go on vacation even if she paid for it!

I understand her mad at him but saying he doesn't need to go on vacation even if his wife paid for it is none of her business if his wife takes him anywhere
Su
the op stated she doesn't want anything from his stupid wife so it's not they it's him.
Se
He also quit his job knowing that he had to pay child support, how can anyone justify that?
That's disgusting that he took a vacation and hasn't paid child support for so long. Regardless of who paid for it. They are obviously getting money from somewhere and should be keeping up with child support. Don't lower his obligation. Do you have child support enforcement in your state involved? After 6 months or so they should issue a warrant for his arrest so he has to pay all of his back child support to be able to be released. Maybe then he will wake up and realize paying child support is more important than a vacation.
Take him to court. At least where I live, even if they're unemployed, they're required to provide child support based on what they would make at a minimum wage job working full time.

No, they will automatically garnish his wages the additional amount the minute he has a job. Taking him to court holds him responsible and pushes him to get the job-- odds are she will never see the back pay if she doesn't push legally.

Even if she took him to court, where would the money come from? He has no job. They can't garnish his wages when he has none. He's already required to pay and will be responsible for all of the unpaid child support, so taking him to court will be a waste of time.
He can evade child support unfortunately. While it is completely illegal, it's not impossible. My father is $60,000 in debt, I'm 25 and he just started making payments. He got married and his wife's family lives in the Philippines, he can't get a passport cause he's so far behind. All that you can do is inform your case worker of his new job, if/when he gets one so they can keep track of where he's working in case he is evading the system. Best of luck.
