    You're probably going to have to adjust your budget so that you don't need the child support to survive.

    You can't get blood out of a stone, and if being hospitalized is the reason he can't pay, the court isn't likely to penalize him for it.

    Will the ex owe the back payments?

    If the child support is being collected by NY CPS, they will track what is paid and not paid. Your ex would owe arrears. If he pays you directly, then you best keep very good records because you have to prove what was paid or not in court at some time in the future.

    With any luck he already has a motion to modify going through the courts - if not, let's just hope that he gets better quickly.

    Can't let Mom live without his money, now can we?

    There's a word we commonly use for this type of person. Decency however prevents me from typing "out loud".

    We don't know if it is spousal or child support.

    Good forbid that I want to know a family member's right. A ex husband who lied cheat and stole over the 20+ year relationship.

    There is a word we commonly use for person who talk's out their rear without knowing anything, but decency prevents me from calling you it.
