It depends on what it is they are withholding.  If your employer gets an official notice for child support, for example, they don't have to even notify you of the withholding.  It will just be done.

The $16,000 in alimony was taxable and should have been reported on your Mom's taxes in the year she received it. If it wasn't, it should be included on Worksheet B of the FAFSA as "other untaxed income" (question #79).\n\nIt is hard to say whether you will qualify for Pell, since there are a LOT of other factors that determine your eligibility besides just income.  If you (the student) have no income, if neither of you have any assets, and if your mother's ONLY income is alimony (and she is not remarried), then you will probably be eligible.  That's a lot of "IFs" though... Like I said, there's a lot more to your Pell eligibility than just your parent income.\n\nYou should include only your mom in the parent section of the FAFSA (the instructions clearly state that when parents are divorced the student should include only the information for the parent who provides 50% of more of your support -- since you live with your mom, that would be her.  If you indicate that your parents are divorced but then include both of them, your FAFSA will require a correction.)

It depends. Did you sign a prenuptual aggreement? If you did, basically what is going to happen is you're going to leave with what you came in the marriage with and your spouse will leave with what he/she came into the marriage with. If not, then it's actually the court's/judge's decision. The judge will make their decision based on the whole situation. Most likely, if there's kids involved, the one who has legal custody of the kids will get the most assets. If allimony comes up, the one who makes more money will have to pay it if asked to. Watch out though, because if you're the one who makes less and you're the reason why the divorce is happening, the judge might not rule alimony payments in your favor, if you ask for them.

You need to establish that your stepmother derives a certain percentage of her income from what you or your wife provide/send her.  This makes her a dependent.  It is easier if she is retired or disabled, but be prepared to sign an "affidavit of support", meaning that if she doesn't work in this country, you are legally obligated to pay her way and if she ever goes on unemployment or welfare here, you will face jail time.

Well... It varies from state to state.\n\nIn many countries alimony, maintenance or spousal support is an obligation established by law that is based on the premise that both spouses have an absolute obligation to support each other during the marriage (or civil union) unless they are legally separated, though in some instances the obligation to support may continue after separation. \n\nOnce dissolution proceedings commence either party may seek interim or pendente lite support during the course of the litigation.\n\nFactors affecting alimony:\n\nLength of the marriage \n\n~Generally alimony lasts for a term or period, that will be longer if the marriage lasted longer. A marriage of over 10 years is often a candidate for permanent alimony. \n\nTime separated while still married \n\n~In some U.S. states, separation is a triggering event, recognized as the end of the term of the marriage. Other U.S. states (such as New Jersey) do not recognize separation or legal separation. In a state not recognizing separation, a 2-year marriage followed by an 8-year separation will generally be treated like a 10-year marriage. \n\nAge of the parties at the time of the divorce \n\n~Generally more youthful spouses are considered to be more able to 'get on' with their lives, and therefore thought to require shorter periods of support. \n\nRelative income of the parties \n\n~In U.S. states that recognize a 'right' of the spouses to live 'according to the means they have become accustomed', alimony attempts to adjust the incomes of the spouses so that they are able to approximate, as best possible, their prior lifestyle. This tends to strongly equalize post-divorce income, heavily penalizing the higher-earning spouse. \n\nFuture financial prospects of the parties \n\n~A spouse who is going to realize significant income in the future is likely to have to pay higher alimony than one who is not. \n\nHealth of the parties \n\n~Poor health goes towards need, and potentially an inability to support for oneself. The courts do not want to leave one party indigent. \n\nFault in marital breakdown \n\n~In U.S. states where fault is recognized, fault can significantly affect alimony, increasing, reducing or even nullifying it. Many U.S. states are 'no-fault' states, where one does not have to show fault to get divorced. No-fault divorce has the advantage of sparing the spouses the acrimony of the 'fault' processes, and the disadvantage of closing the eyes of the court to any and all improper spousal behavior. \n\nAlso, it seems alimony is/can be a tax deduction.

If a man was her sole source of support, then alimony is his responsibility even if for a short length of time until she can go to school, train for a career, and get established as a provider for the children he abandoned.  And the same on the flipside.  If a woman were in the same position, she should have to pay alimony to the man.\n\nChild support is non-negotiable.  If you are the parent, you pay for the child.  Whether it was from a one-night stand, or a ten year committed marriage.  The old expression, "you fathered it, you feed it" comes to mind.\n\n\nAnd on the negligence issue, you have to have beyond a reasonable doubt and plus some proof!

Imagine 32% of YOUR pay after taxes going to an ex (what I pay).  Imagine that she hasn't worked on a full time payroll in 12 yrs.  Imagine that your sending home $2000-2400/month and your told it isn't enough even though your not only sending that but also paying for half of summer camp and paying for all the dental work out of pocket.....  (we are not talking about alimony... just child support)\n\nI imagine that if you were giving ME 1 out of every 3 dollars you earn after taxes you might have a different view of the money and how it is spent.\n\nIf my ex weren't living on the support I pay for my children I might have a different view, but many women subsidize thier standard of living with the "kids" money.\n\nNow ask yourself why men are the way they are about support...

Will I still receive financial support?

The answer would depend upon your state laws.  Please check with an attorney in your state.

No, she will still get child support.   I just got married and have two step-sons now.   The father is still required to pay his child support.

Were YOU eligible for unemployment?  If not then you've commited FRAUD.  This can be a felony in most states.  I'd try and get it straightened out before they come after you.  They will notice this and catch on to it.  Today in most states employeers have to report new employees to the state because of child support laws.  This will be a way for them to catch you.  The other main way is with your taxes.  When you file they will notice the W-2s filed in your husbands and/or your name.

It typically depends on how much she makes. If she makes $15,000/year and he makes $100,000/year, she could file for and receive alimony. \n\nAlimony (from what I understand of it) is based on the idea that the spouse got used to a certain lifestyle during the marriage and now feels that he/she should be entitled to some money to get on his/her feet after the marriage ends.

The federal government considers it income so yes to federal taxes.  I'm not sure if your specific state does or not.  Ohio considers alimony income.

Will this affect any alimony you get? If he loses his job will you lose too?\n\nGetting revenge is not always as sweet as it seems. Make sure you know what your doing.
