Yes, they absolutely can. You are required to pay the full amount you are ordered to pay, until or unless a court modifies the amount.

You need to file for a modification ASAP. When an injury or illness prevents a NCP from working for a time, the court can issue a temp reduction in payments. You need to file right away because you'll have to pay the full amount until the court modifies.
