Legal Question in Family Law in California

i know someone that owes back child support. the state of CA is currently taking his wages. His last few checks have been $28 and $2.80. Is there anything he can do to lessen the severity of the payments? it is very difficult to pay rent with paychecks like this. The children are in their late 20's and will probably not receive the money anyway.
