If a mother has been ordered to pay child support and all at once she quits her job and sighs up for disability, does she get out of paying all the back child support that she is behind on? She is trying to get out of paying child support by signing up for disability and she is very able to work.

That is basically up to the courts to decide. She might have an injury that you don't know about. Disability is awarded to people who have a medical problem and can't work. It is hard to determine if she has a medical issue or not.
I would contact my lawyer and have him file for a court date with the judge. All you can do is present your case and let the courts decide the rest.
Signing up for disability does not necessarily mean she will be approved. You do not say what type of disability she signed up for but if it is with Social Security then she will have to prove that she cannot work and have a doctor (doctors) complete paperwork attesting to her disability and that it is their professional opinion that her condition will not change within a long period of time. Doctors will not usually do this falsely as their profession is on the line should it be proven otherwise. Social Security can require a person to also see a doctor of their choice for a second opinion.
