    First of course, child support is not suppose to pay all of YOUR bills, it is to help with support of the kids. What type of disability do you have? Are you getting disability pay ?

    But if the fathers income has changed * up or down* since child support was ordered and set, then you can go back and have it increased ( or decreased) depending on his income
