Don't waste time. Go find a lawyer in the community where the child suppport was entered and get some advice immediately. There are too many issues raised by your posting to deal with in this forum.

I agree with Jay. You need counsel as the matters posted are too complex for this forum. If you are unemployed, you might qualify for free legal services. Contact Indiana Legal Services or the Pro Bono Office that handles matters in the community where the court order was entered.
