The process varies by state - you will likely need an attorney who specializes in family law. Keep in mind that an appeal must be filed fairly soon after the entry of the order.

Is work required to take out child support by law?
Yes, assuming the question refers to the garnishment of an obligated parent's salary for child support obligations. In some states it requires a court order separately from the original child support judgment. In the majority of states when the payment is made via the state's child support enforcement agency it can be accomplished without a support hearing/judgment order.
Do you still pay child support after you appeal child support order?
Of course. Appealing a child support doesn't have any affect on the existing support order. You must obey the order until the court has issued a new order, which is not likely. Think about it: When a murderer appeals his conviction he doesn't just walk out of jail a free man.
How to stop child support if you're the wrong person?
Someone who believes s/he is the wrong person should file an appeal of the child support order. However, keep in mind that unless the order was based on false evidence, the time to appeal is typically rather short. If no appeal is filed or an appeal is not timely filed, the courts will lack jurisdiction to determine whether the wrong person has been ordered to pay support.
I am going through a divorce and i can't afford the child support order and alimony awarded to my wife can i get locked up because i can't afford it?
yes, you can. You need to file an appeal or, if the time for appeal has passed, a petition for modification of the order. Keep in mind that, in general, child support is a percentage of one's net income.
How does his new child support order affect our already existing one?
Only one support order can be in effect at any given time, even if they were entered in different states/countries. However, he might owe unpaid support from the prior order - often when this is the case, the new order reduces that amount to a judgment and orders payments on that judgment.
Is it possible to file a child support petition where the father lives?
Possible, yes but not necessary. The usual procedure is for the custodial parent to file suit for child support in the court of jurisdiction where they reside with the minor child/children. If the support order is granted the judgment is filed against the non custodial parent in the city or county and state where he or she lives. All U.S. states and commonwealths honor and enforce child support orders as long as the judgment order is mandated by a U.S. court.
What do I do if I forgot to put the amount of child support in the judgment or Absolute Divorce?
I believe your attorney is the one who is responsible for this, so you need to contact him or her and have this rectified. If the issue was not addressed in your divorce proceeding then you will need to petition now for a child support order. If child support was addressed and an amount set under state child support guidelines then you can request a copy of that order by visiting the court.
How can the court order you to help pay for your child's college by raising your child support when you're not making anymore money and cannot afford it?
The only thing you can do is appeal to the court.
Does a divorce decree supersede a child support order?
If the divorce decree addresses child support and is issued after the child support order then it replaces the child support order. If the child support order was issued or amended after the divorce decree then you abide by the most recent order with regard to child support.
