Doesn't anybody just get married and have kids with ONE person and stay together anymore?
That completely solves this problem.
But no, the Mom (or the Dad, if he is the one with custody) does NOT have legal authority to suspend child support payments. The parent is simply a conduit for the children; the money is for the children. Too bad, so sad if you have life events that interfere with paying child support, but the obligation remains.

If I were him I would ask for it to be lowered. Obviously they have hit a rough time financially.

I completely agree
Quoting 3earthangels:
I'll be the oddball, I would of helped him out. My ex and I both understand and agree that we both need to be stable physically, financially, mentally, and emotionally to best care for our children and will help each ither as best we can so we both can be great parents. Being unable to afford housing, bills, food...etc is an instability I could help him with to help my kids have a great life. *shrug* whatever floats your boat

I agree, but I think a grand a month for two kids is ridiculous.

He said that it is my fault that now they will either have to move or send her kids to live with their dad.
