Re: What can I do
If your child support obligation was based on income you no longer have, you can petition the court for a reduction. However, if you start receiving ssi, that will count as income toward determining your child support obligation. You will not be able to avoid paying any accrued back support, so the longer you wait to do this, the more back support you will owe.
