What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
Ok experts, I can't get a straight answer for my Issue, and I need one.
I started a job 2 weeks ago, the pay is $26/hr but split $8/$18. $8/hr is base pay, and the $18 is PER DIEM.
I had to take a job 273 miles from home to get re-employed to support my family and obviously, I have child support ordered @ $590 + $155 in arrerages as ordered in Jan 2006. But the Texas system was messed up and finally got that sorted out.
So, as of right now, my payments are $590 + $155 (for arrerages), on $8/hr this isn't doable because I still have support myself in the "new" location and relocation isn't possible because of housing issues.
Is the per diem counted as income? Even though the IRS doesn't tax per diem, and on the checkstub, it isn't in the "Regular Earnings" category. The per diem is on the deductions column.
My ex-wife and I have meeting with the child support office on the 19th to hash it out and I got a nasty text from her saying "plan on an increase" from what I'm already paying. I don't mind paying the arrerage amount, but it is the base amount that needs to be changed.
