Non-custodial parent

I am a noncustodial parent that pays child support and lives in Hancock County MS. I have what is considered a full-time job, but I am only allowed to work 36 hours a week. As of 2020, my gross income was $41565.59, but my net income was only $22647.74, which means I lost over $18000. With that being said, I am doing my best to make ends meet and possibly get married but it seems impossible to actually make enough money to survive as a non-custodial parent.
According to every resource, I make too much money on paper, but my debt-to-income ratio isn't enough to get a loan. Are there any resources or help from agencies that I may actually qualify for? I don't want to lower my child support or do anything to mess up my son's income. I just have no idea what to do anymore. To make matters worse, my fiancé and I have complications with our health that we can't afford to pay for either. Any direction or advice would be greatly appreciated.
