What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ca
Hi guys. I was married in May of this year. I have 5 children. I lost custody of my oldest when I was still a teenager and I got full custody of her about a year and a half ago. I owe less than 900 dollars child support for her. It used to be more, but I paid it down little by little.
We are going to file for taxes in late Jan/early Feb and I don't work outside of the home. My husband and I will be filing jointly. If we file jointly, and it is only his income, can child support intercept it and use some of it to pay my child support off? I feel like i'm SOOOO close to getting it paid off, and I would like them just to take the rest from our taxes if possible so that it is finally gone...I was just worried that they may not be able to since it is not technically my income they are taking it from.
If not, I can always send it in myself, I was just hoping to have it be done with as quickly as possible. I can't wait to get it out of the way after all these years!!!
ETA: Also, do you know how long it might take for me to be able to get a passport after I pay it off? My church runs an orphanage in Mexico and I am really wanting to go on a missions trip with them. I've been waiting for so long.
