In general, child support is a percentage of income. Mental retardation does not, in itself, excuse one from paying support. However, SSI/public assistance recipients cannot be ordered to pay child support.

How does the attitude of family effect a mentally retarded child's self esteem?
All mentally retarded children have emotions and they understand love and care. They also understand who likes them and who do not (in most cases). Hence it is necessary that these children are given more love and care as they are special and it is not by their choice they are mentally retarded. They require the support of the family members - specifically parents and siblings and if possibly grand parents. It helps in the long run to improve their IQ. Their self esteem is impaired when they feel they are not given the right kind of attention and care. They deteriorate faster.
