They can, if you have a persuasive reason such as being unable to pay. If you declare bankruptcy, then you won't have to pay anything, since no debts are collectible from a bankrupt person.

Arrearages may be reduced or credited if you can either prove you have had the child for all or part of the time child support has accrued, if you can convince the petitioner to waive part or all arrears or if you have proof of payments made directly to the petitioner (given your support or divorce order does not specify such payments will only be considered a gift and the judge approves the validity of the payments). Filing bankruptcy does not satisfy and child support owed you will still be liable for paying as it is a court order signed by a judge.
