What counts as income?

[Anonymous]

Right now I make a base salary and about $3000 per year in bonuses.  I may or may not begin recieiving child support.  Do the bonuses and child support count?  Would the child support count if it isn't court ordered (if we worked something out on our own)?

TIA!

You would need two years of tax returns to support your income so if you've been paid the bonus the last couple of years it would be included.

Child support would need to be documented through the courts and proof of payments made would also need to show before you could count it
