call your caseworker and ask what steps you need to take to help until you get your disability approved. you could also offer to babysit for your child to help with costs.
problem is, disability takes a while to get, and they will be concerned with how the child will be able to eat, have heat, etc.
once your disability comes in they will take the support out of it, so you will be back on track again.

Contact the child support bureau and explain to them that you have no money coming in. They can lower it for you. They will have to adjust it according to how much disability you are getting when it starts anyway. They will take what you owe from your tax return next year.

start a home-based business from your computer.
cut out the things u dont need, such as things u like to buy in your grocery bill. stick to ramen noodles, spam, and tuna.
whenever possible, ride your bicycle or walk or take the bus instead of driving and wasting gas.
get a roomate to help you with expenses of rent or mortgage.
have garage sales and sell lots of things u dont need for cash
try to get custody of your kids so that she will be the one paying child support instead of u.
start a 1-900 home business
get under-the-table jobs (thats what my dad does) such as running errands for ppl, or doing yardwork.
get a paper route
start a hot-dog stand
wash cars in the walmart parking lot
sell girl scout cookies, and work out a deal where you can keep a percentage
panhandle on street medians
whenever you need clothes or shoes, go to good will or the salvation army instead of jc penneys or something.
whenever you need a haircut, have one of your friends do it for u, instead of going to a barber.

it depends the kind of disability you will be on, you may not have to pay anymore , i know a few people that no longer have to pay due to disability!
