What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania

My child's father is getting $817 a month in disability income. I am working full time with and income of about $1166 a month. With daycare costs and medical insurance, I am at minus $68 every month without child support. The current order is for $366 a month. My child's father claims that it is state law that they have to leave him with $550 month for living expenses. That means reducing the order to $267 a month. That would leave me with only $ 189 a month to live on.
How is this fair? He's not working and "claims" he can't work. We are scheduled to go to a masters hearing in March. Is there anything I can do to get more than $267 a month? Shouldn't I be allowed a certain amount of living expenses like him?
Thanks for the help and advice! :)

What kind of disability? Does he see the child? Is his $550 supposed to cover his sheltering and such as well?
