can court take my ssd for child support

Isn't the child receiving benefits by reason of your disability. And doesn't the amount being received by the child exceed your monthly obligation. That's usually the case and it usually results in the disabled person having no current child support obligation and no obligation for payment on arrears as the current payment exceeds the current obligation and the excess is credited to arrears. Further, any obligation for payments on arrears are usually reduced to zero since you usually don't have enough money for even your own bills.

Generall speaking, income other than means-tested public benefits can be used to calculate and garnish child support. In rare cases, the child support obligation will exceed the dependant's derivative benefit from Social Security Disability. In which case, the balance would be garnished from your benefits. You should seek counsel to have the child support guidelines reviewed to make sure that your benefits were properly handled.
