The one-time stimulus check from the federal government, termed the “economic impact payment,” pursuant to the CARES Act will most likely not be a factor when calculating child support. This is due to the checks legally being considered a tax credit, being advanced from the future 2020 tax return. Unless, the federal government is aware that you are behind in child support payments, then the check can be reduced.
Unemployment benefits, on the other hand, do factor into the obligor’s net resources when determining child support.
