Q: My husband owes a Lot in arrears Well it's been over 28-31 years now we have raised them 90*\* of their life
Does there come a time in ones life where SHE stops receiving the arrears (back support)? Or the money would start going to the adult children? Can I receive my stimulus payment since I’m not responsible for the $?
A: Hello. No, the child support would go to the person who was always receiving the support. You would need to speak with a certified tax professional to discuss how to separate your taxes from your husband (married filing separate), which would change if and how you might receive your stimulus check. Best of luck.
A: The money that represents the arrearage goes to the person who had custody of the children during their minority.
