I was disabled and awaiting a decision from the SSA when i was found in contempt and given a purge that required me to pay $* and stay current on my monthly payments. Now the child support agency is asking that my monthly payments be reduced to $*. Shouldn't i be excused from having to make the monthly payments if i was disabled and awaiting a decision from the SSA at the time?
