Depends on the reason and whether you qualify for a modification if there is a child support order in place. You need to file a motion with the court to have your child support order modified. You will need to prove to the court there has been a change in your circumstances that makes it more difficult for you to pay.
If there is no order in place the court will assess the situation and render a decision according to state guidelines.
In general, child support is a percentage of one's net income - the lower the income, the lower the child support. However, unearned income such as unemployment compensation is also considered available to pay support.
You pay the support. She didn't have that child by herself.
If you are 17, I highly recommend you not getting girls pregnant. Are you ready for a child to be dependant on you and support your child and your chids mother? Can you afford to help raise a child and provide a good future for your child? Are you willing to pay child support if you get a divorce? A child is a lot to think about no matter how old you are but it is even harder at a young age, and still in high school.
You don't need a lawyer. You should have a good case anyway. I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
Yes, they may remove any child they believe to be neglected or abused.
A child has to be eighteen before the child support ends for a child. You then cant apply for child support than or you can get anymore for that child once you are eighteen you are done.
It depends on the settlement. However, a parent will continue to pay child support until the child either graduates from college or stops attending.
Child support is based on net income. The courts can require the obligor to look for work if they decide that his non-work income is not sufficient to support the child.
Probably not - in general, child support is a percentage of the obligor's net income. A new spouse, whether married to the obligee or obligor, should not increase or decrease the child support obligation. As one of the child's parents, you are liable for at least a minimal amount of support regardless of the obligee's resources.

You can't.
Absolutely not!
