More details to this question:
My daughter and a boyfriend had a son 14 years ago. When the boy was 4 or 5 he was placed in foster care with a friend. My daughter is ordered to pay child support, the boy’s father is not forced to pay it. Years later my daughter marries and has another son, with autism. She has doctor orders to be with him 24/7. Not being able to work she gets SSI for her younger son. She does not pay the child support and is took to court, placed in jail. Even though she has a disabled son to care for.

Unfortunately there may not be much she can do to stop support. However, she may be able to lower the amount that she is ordered to pay by filing a motion to amend relaying the new changes since the original order to Court. I find it bizarre that the father is not paying support. He should also be paying support. She would need to discuss the support arrangements with the agency (DSS in order to determine the reason behind why that is.
