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. |
