Yes they can, but it is admittedly more difficult in your case to see a result. If the child support is court-ordered, you likely do not need to know your ex's ITIN because that information is likely in court documents. If you report back to the court that you have not been getting the child support, they should be able to help get the claim filed to the proper place so that the IRS may offset future refunds to collect on the back child support.
But there is another issue: if he has no refund or decides not to file tax returns, there isn't any income the IRS can offset to help pay your back child support due.
Nevertheless, you probably should do what you can on your end by reporting the back child support to the appropriate court authority. This at least will give the IRS the opportunity to have his future refunds offset, but it's not a guarantee.
