Child Support & Ssi Income

[mick1221]

If custodial parent is recieving ssdi income for a child....and also recieving child support for the same child , does the ssdi income change the amount of child support to be received in any way?

No, govt assistance does not chance the amount of child support being charged. Child support effects the amount of SSDI assistance. Your support is based off what you make, not what the other parent makes or receives as assistance. Same as welfare payments don't effect the amount of you're child support payments. Sorry nice try.

It actually depends on what state you are in. Many states do a dual income share formula. You'll have to check with an attorney, I am not kmowledgable on how SSI or SSDI works and if it can count towards child support.

You might want to google your states child support guidelines.
