Child support - children's soc security - income?

[lawquestions]

When using the child support calculator, it asks if you’re responsibe for any other child(ren) not of the relationship. Does this mean responsible as in them living with you and you supporting them…or does it simply mean you have other children? Also does children’s social security benefits which they receive from their late father - would that be calculated into my income?

Thanks!

It means they are living with you, or they are living elsewhere and you are paying support for thief benefit. The benefits are included in your income, but deducted from your support obligation for another child.
