Yes, SSD, RRD and other private disability benefits are not exempted from court ordered child support and/or spousal maintenance. Although the amount may be modified in relation to the corresponding amount of the disability benefits.

This may depend on the amount of child support and the amount of disability. If the disability is MORE than the amount of child support, the child support would probably be cancelled. However, if the disability is less, there may be a child support payment to make up the difference. You would need to make a filing with the court to have an order put in place or amended if you already have one.

Yes you do. Most states will base the support order on the amount of money the obligor receives for his or her disability. If the children receive dependent benefits the amount the non custodial parent will pay will be based on the amount the children receive in dependent benefits. If the ncp receives 1500.00 per month and the court ordered child support is for 20% or 300.00 per month and the children receive 400.00 per month in dependent benefits then the ncp will have to pay 0, but if the children receive 200.00 then the ncp will owe 100.00 hope this helps

In such a case, the father should request that support be modified based on a substantial change in circumstances.
