Your real option is this: get a job and pay your support. In the meantime, the judge will give you affordable payments on your back support, but it will have to be paid. If you don't go to court, the judge will probably just add an extra 20% the amount of support coming out of your check to go toward back support.
The court will be sympathetic - for a SHORT while. Ultimately the law requires you to pay support so you have to make it happen otherwise you will get into trouble with the court.
