More details to this question:
I recently filed a disability claim.I live in the state of Georgia. I have been unable to work since 2009 because I was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis. I was in good standing with my child support until this. I am waiting for the outcome of the disability hearing that I attended in April. My license were suspended for non payment of arrears. I need to go back and forth to the doctors for treatment. Is there some type of limited license can be established to allow me the opportunity to make docotrs appointment until the decision of the disability courts

The issue of whether you can get a limited drivers license is outside the realm of family law. However,when one cannot afford to make his current child support payments because of involuntary job loss, one has the right to petition the court for a modification to pay less child support. You may be able to deal with your drivers license issue if you petition the court for a modification of child support. You should speak with an experienced family law attorney about your situation.
