Unless the order terminates support at a certain date or says that you don't have to pay if she started receiving social security benefits, or disability; you have to pay! The only thing you can do is go into court or on Order to Show Cause requesting that support be modified. The court will look at the change of circumstances since the last order and keep the same order or make a new one.
