Legal Question in Family Law in New York
SS Dis & child support
I am on a disabilty pension and also collect Soc. Sec. disability benefits. My only child collects 1/2 my SS disability payment each month. In calculating child support payments, is my SS benefit added to my pension benefit and 17% to be paid from the total, even though she is collecting 1/2 my benefit? Or is another formula used for this situation?

FICA is not included when calculating child support.
