Do you factor in alimony when determining the amount of child support?
My soon-to-be ex-husband believes the alimony he will be paying me has to be factored into my income when determining the child support that he will be responsible for. I think it is not factored.

The Utah statute states that income from all sources is to be considered in the calculation of child support and courts will even impute income to a party for different reasosn. Under the Federal guidelines you need to put in $25 for the true non-income spouse. Please go and see an attorney for a consultation. Do not let your soon to be ex husband do any of the calculations that affect you. Good luck.
