Well, if you have the cash from an inheritance, then you should use it to catch up on your payments. As far as there being a lien or garnishment on the inheritance, you would have to check with a lawyer.

How do you stop child support from taking your money?

Child support is worked out by your annual income so you should not be paying more than you can afford. I believe there is a percentage of your wages that you must still have after child support is taken. Check with your child support how much that is. In my country no more than 40% of your wages can be taken for child support.
