I get ssi, and have a court ordered payment for arrears for child support. Do I have to keep paying my monthly payment

What would make you think otherwise?

If something is court ordered, doesn't that mean you HAVE to pay it?

That is your responsibility.

Hi, mikeyy37!

Is your monthly payment for the arrears, current support or both, please?

Also, are you having difficulty in making the payments?

It's not really clear in your original post as to what the issue is here.

Thanks!

Of course you have to pay. Your child has to eat, be clothed, have a roof over his/her head. You helped create the child, they aren't free.

If you can't afford it, then find a way to afford it. If it means giving up a few luxuries, like internet access, then that's what you do.
