Child Modification Case Interrogatories
Summary
Drafting interrogatories in a child modification case involves focusing on specific areas such as financial stability, living situation, childs education, health, and parenting time. In Texas, there is no specific limit on the number of definitions or exhibits of production you can request, but they should be relevant and not overly burdensome. Rule 193.5 requires parties to supplement responses with new information before trial. Case law like In re Alford Chevrolet-Geo and In re CSX Corp. Helps define what is considered burdensome in discovery, focusing on relevance and the balance of effort versus importance.Full Conversation

is child support tax free money and do the receipents have to report that to the IRS as income
Case Rating: *
Child support is tax-free for the recipient. It is not considered taxable income, so you do not need to report it to the IRS.
Child support is tax-free for the recipient. It is not considered taxable income, so you do not need to report it to the IRS.
Then how is that fair to the person paying child support, do they get any write offs at the end of the year for paying child support
Case Rating: *
In Texas, and generally in the U.S., child support payments are not tax-deductible for the payer, and they are not considered taxable income for the recipient. The rationale is that child support is intended to benefit the child, not the custodial parent.
Do you have any other questions about child support or related issues?

Do you have any other questions about child support or related issues?
Well if it is intended to benefit the child then why is there no factor to determine if the money is actually being used on the child and doesn't blessing vs freestone actually say that child support was not intended for the child
Case Rating: *
In Texas, there are no specific legal requirements for how child support money must be spent. The courts assume that the custodial parent uses the funds to cover the child's needs.
Regarding *Blessing v. Freestone*, this case focused on the enforcement of child support obligations rather than the specific use of child support funds.

yeah but in blessing vs freestone wasn't some of that verbage stating that it wasn't intended for the children or child or parent but rather to pay off debt for social programs
Case Rating: *
In *Blessing v. Freestone*, the case mainly dealt with the enforcement of child support obligations by the state and whether individuals could sue the state for failing to provide adequate enforcement. It did not specifically address the use of child support funds for paying off debts or social programs.
