My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Indiana
My ex and I are in the middle of a custody battle over our 6 month old son, but we both signed a temporary agreement for visitation and child support. My ex boyfriend gets our son every other weekend and every Wednesday and is supposed to pay $61.17 in child support. It went into effect on Oct 28 2015, he paid up until Nov 20 2015 and then stopped paying because he decided he was going to quit his job because he was tired of working for someone else. He has since told me that he doesn't have to pay support and never did since we were still going to court but that I HAVE to follow the visitation portion of the temporary agreement. And that even though based on his income of $500 per week at the beginning of our case he actually should've been paying around $120 per week but I agreed to $61. He now says that he can have it lowered even more or have it stopped completely since he doesn't have an income and is in the process of applying for Disability instead of going back to work, and that if he is approved they will pay his child support obligations for him.
Is any of this true? Does he really not have to pay support even though we have a court signed temporary agreement? Can he seriously quit his job just so that he can have his child support payments lowered or stopped? And if he's been physically able to work his whole life can he really get on disability for the sole purpose of having them pay child support?
