Can I stop paying child support if my family and I are barely able to survive?

It is highly unlikely you can stop support but depending on your circumstances you may be able to get the amount you pay reduced. You should consult with a family law attorney in your area to discuss your situation in more detail.

One thing that you can always do is petition the Court which ordered child support payments for a reduction in the amount that you are paying. This often occurs when child support is set at an amount that is affordable at the time it is ordered, but subsequently changes, often due to losing a job or taking a pay cut. You can also petition the same Court for an adjustment of parenting time to tallow you to see the child so long as your ex does not have strong reasons to prevent the contact.
