my question is this, *can the courts touch my cash award to pay child

I am looking to go to court and get the support payments lowered as
125.00/wk
is a lot to someone with no income. *Any input is appreciated! *thanx.

If you are not behind on your support payments, that money should be yours
alone. There are certain monies they can't touch i.e. disability payments,
ssan, etc.

You are wrong. *Workman's Compensation and settlements, as well as SSD
(Not SSI), and unemployment compensation are considered income for CS
calculation.

In fact, with SSD, it can be garnished directly from the Social
Security Administration, without it ever hitting your bank. SSA allows
three and only three things to be garnished. That is CS, alimony and
federal taxes. Thats why I asked clarification.

Well, usenut did say it "should be yours." But, unfortunately, family law
doesn't operate as it "should."
