need help

[cinbryant]

My wife and I are getting divorce. I am on disability and get check, my daughter who is 16 also gets a check for benefits due to my disability. My question is will I pay child support on top of check she now receives? if so how will this be figured or is the benefit check she gets for my disability all I am responsible for?

[Attorney Howard Iken]

You will receive a credit against your child support obligation for the money the child receives.

I'm sorry what does a credit against my disability mean?

[Attorney Howard Iken]

That means support will go down by the amount of the disability check the child receives.

daughter recieves 659.59 a month from my disability. Was told child support would be abt 425.00 month. So will just my benefit check cover my child support or will I need to pay more? Thank you

[Attorney Howard Iken]

You will not owe any support.
