More details to this question:
I was in jail and got served that my former wife was filing for a divorce, because of depression and instability I lost the papers and couldn't even remember where it said she even filed, Now they are saying no payments were ever made for child support although she received payments from SSDI for 8.3 years for both children. I was not able to get help to get a copy of the papers. I was accused of abandoning the family in early February 1987, but saw the children on Sunday April 19th, 1987. How can I get help? I am on SSI.

You are going to need to call around to local attorneys and see if you can get help through a Pro Bono Commission or legal aide. You may be able to credit your SSDI payments made to her towards the arrearage, but you're going to need an attorney to navigate through this. You also need to file a motion to modify support as soon as possible.
