You are an idiot. Child Support NEVER EVER (ya, I am yelling) gets
reduced because a child receives SSI. Depending on the state, it can
be reduced because it is be seen as income earned by YOU. Some states
factor in both parents income in determing the CS amount and any idiot
lawyer could have worked around that situation (such as making your
daughter the payee or her grandmother or something). It's not being
reduced because her needs are diminished but because her SSI appears
as income to you.

And ya, I know what I am talking about. I paid more yearly in CS alone
than you and your ex have ever made combined and have for over 12
years.
