What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL

Does anybody know if Social Security Disability Payments (non SSDI- which has a payment for children, but the the SS that just pays for my son's disabled mother) can be considered income? I am currently paying $60 a week, even though I have custody, because the judge felt she would need some support during her visitations. Since then she has been awarded SS for herself. I want to go to court to argue that this she suffice, and I should not have to pay her anymore. Especially since she only sees him 1-2 hrs / week- usually at church- which costs her 1 pull-up and a serving of juice at the most.

SSI is supplement security income and its a very low amount a month. Its somewhere around 600.00. Obviously its basically impossible for her to support herself on 600.00 a month. Therefore I don't know if a judge would consider that a reason to stop having you pay the minimal child support that you are paying, on not. I would think that your greater argument would be the fact that she is not exercising her visitation.

SSI is considered to be a form of public assistance, so it is not considered as income for CS purposes. The max SSI payment is $657.00 per month. Waay below poverty level.

I agree with the previous reply, you should concentrate your efforts on the issue of ex not using visitation, therefore does not need extra for visits that are non existant.
