Answer 1

Maybe she can try emancipating her self she is old enough then she will be able to enroll herself in school . That will stop the child support payments as well. There are legal aid firms out there that can help with this kind of stuff and maybe getting a job will help her financially was graduated and out of the house by 16 working a full time job and going to school ,if you want it bad enough you can make it work for you .
