Re: Child support and child receiving SSD

[quote]I honestly have no idea.
I just know on taxes their checks count for my kids taxes, not on mine.
edit: To rephrase that, that quote sounds to me like the kids check amount is added to the parent's income for purposes of figuring out what each parent's CS obligation should be and the amount of the kid's check is deducted from the disabled person's CS amount......which is what I think you want it to mean.......I'm just VERY surprised by it because I thought CS was figured on your taxable income. [/quote]
It depends on the state. But, I don't see this helping the OP at all. Basically, the SSDI amount the child receives will be added to the SSDI amount the Ex receives to figure the Ex's gross income. I'm not sure if his state figures child support based upon both parents income or not, but it sounds as if it is?
If his state considers both parent's income, then the gross income for his Ex (her SSDI and the child's SSDI) will be put into the formula and then his gross income will be put into the formula.
In the end, the formula will show what he owes in child support and the SSDI the child receives will NOT cover his child support. The SSDI will cover the MOM'S child support for the child.
Now, if the parent receiving SSDI was the NCP, then the SSDI would go towards that child support amount due.
Hope that makes sense.
