How would winning the lottery affect a child support order? - Brandon Ervin - 11-09-2012 07:13 PM I have heard many different things on this subject but I would like to know if a lottery win would affect child support? If the non custodial parent was to win since winning the lottery isn't technically considered income? - Maggie C - 11-09-2012 07:21 PM It is considered income - you pay income tax. With a big win the ex would probably take you to court to request a trust account to cover future child support payments. - Rusty Shackleford - 11-09-2012 07:21 PM As this appears to be a legal question and not so much a question about gambling, you might get better answers posting it in the Law and Ethics section of the Politics and Government category. I think it would become an issue if the other party decides to make it one. Each state has different laws, so no one, not even a legal expert, would be able to give you a good answer without knowing where you live. - Arrogantlettuce304 - 11-09-2012 07:21 PM That depends on the state. In Massachusetts, everything short of change back on a dollar counts, and they are working on that. So does the income of a second spouse. http://DadsHouseEdCtr.org/FathersDay http://ChildSupportRights.org/WhatPayersNeed2Know ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬â–​¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬ Federal Child Support Enforcement Handbook for Non-Custodial Parents http://childsupportrights.org/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬â–​¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬ To learn a father's rights, join Dads House Educational Groups.
