Child Support Questions

Dear Tammy:

Greetings. Child support is not considered to be income. Yes, if the day care expenses no longer exist, child support can be modified. If the child support is paid pursuant an order, a motion to modify may be filed. Best of luck … and thanks for the appreciation.

Hello,

I would like to know if a person paying child support, also receives child support for children from a previous marriage, does this have to be added in as wages or other when child support is determined.

Also, if a person is paying child support and the child begins school and is no longer in day care, will the child support be lowered?

I do appreciate your time.
