It is a bit unclear what the court did or did not know. However, it is possible for the custodian of the child to receive direct benefits for that child relating to the parent's disability, in many cases, which may eliminate a good deal of your problem. If you have not made that attempt, you should contact Social Security; as for the support question generally, there are not enough facts to review it, but you should be aware that there are special rules relating to SSI and SSD as to how they may or may not be calculated for child support purposes. You should get all the paperwork you have together and first contact Social Security, and then consult with a family law specialist versed in the case law in this subject area.
