I disagree.
The OP definately needs to speak to an attorney ASAP.

The OP is legally disabled, if what the OP says is true, he's definately been unlucky enough to go in front of a very biased Judge. It's pretty standard in all states that when a NCP has been declared to be disabled by the SSA, it would be very difficult to make a finding of actual contempt on the min amount of SSDI and SSI (the total OP gets tells me that he's probably getting both SSDI and SSI to supplement the SSDI).

I also have a suspicion that the OP's childrens' SS benefits aren't being credited on CS if this is the same Judge that issued the CS order.
