Child support is not income to the recipient or a deduction for the payer. Spousal support, also called maintenance or alimony, is income to the recipient and deductible for the payer.
Need more info to answer properly, but if I understand what you're asking: Income that is not subject to income taxes (tax exempt investments, inheritance income from an estate, life insurance proceeds, etc) can certainly be considered income to support oneself - (IE If someone asks how you support yourself when you have no job... you may have income sources that are tax exempt that provide you with enough income to live a very comfortable lifestyle.) If you're asking for purposes of support as in child support or spousal support - then I believe that is negotiable prior to settlement of the divorce / child support case. If you're asking if tax exempt income qualifies as income for a dependecy exeption, then the answer is yes. So long as the income is enough to cover 50% of the expenses to maintain the household / provide for the child, etc.
No, neither federal nor state tax refunds are subject to creditor garnishment or seizure. Tax refunds can only be seized or garnished for, taxes that are due, child support, federally funded student loans and in some cases spousal maintenance (alimony).
The process of deducting money from an employee's monetary compensation like salary most of the time is the most common type of Wage garnishment. Child support, taxes and defaulted students loans are the most common types of debts that can be resulted into garnishments.
Yes only if you owe your ex for back child support or alimony expenses, or if you're still considered legally married.
No. However, if goods or real estate is recieved in lieu of spousal support, and the recipient then sells it, the recipient would then be responsible for any tax burden for the sale. Monetary spousal support payments recieved are not considered taxable income.
No.
No. The spousal support order remains in effect until it is modified by the court.
Generally, a court will only allow unemployment compensation be garnished in the case of spousal or child support.
VA disability compensation should NOT be included in the calculations as income for either spousal and child support. It is completely a separate property asset that is not divisible.
only child support. Spousal support is taxable income.
There's no such thing as "marital spousal child support." You might be able to get spousal support ("alimony" or "maintenance") for a brief period to allow you to become self-sufficient.
No; as the term implies, spousal support is for spouses. However, you ought to be able to receive child support.
