FAQ
You'll need to submit proof of all of your income streams when you apply for a mortgage, and lenders consider alimony checks to be a valid source of income.
A lender or broker may ask whether income stated in your application comes from alimony, child support, or separate maintenance payments. However, the lender or broker must tell you that you do not have to reveal such income if you do not want it considered.
How do mortgage lenders verify employment and income? Mortgage lenders usually verify income and employment by contacting a borrower's employer directly and reviewing recent employment and income documentation.
Are child support payments or alimony payments considered taxable income? Child Support - No. Child support payments are not subject to tax. Child support payments are not taxable to the recipient (and not deductible by the payer).
Misconduct: Certain behaviors can also lead to the disqualification of alimony. For instance, if a spouse is found to have engaged in financial misconduct, such as hiding assets or failing to disclose financial information during the divorce proceedings, this can result in disqualification.
Child support is never deductible and isn't considered income. Additionally, if a divorce or separation instrument provides for alimony and child support, and the payer spouse pays less than the total required, the payments apply to child support first. Only the remaining amount is considered alimony.
If the check must be payable to the custodial parent, please include the SDU as the co-payee. For example, please make the check payable to “custodial parent and/or the state SDU.” Sending payments electronically to state SDUs is another way to ensure payments arrive quickly and safely.
What do I do if I want alimony? You can ask for alimony as part of a divorce proceeding. If you and your spouse reach an agreement about alimony, you can ask the judge to make the agreement a part of the court order. If you cannot reach an agreement, the judge will decide whether you are entitled to alimony.
In Texas, some things can disqualify you from spousal support. These include: Cohabitation: If you live with someone else in a marriage-like relationship, you may be disqualified for spousal support. Remarriage: If you remarry before your spousal support obligation ends, you may be disqualified for further payments.
Texas does have alimony, but Texas law favors alimony payments that are decided in private contracts as a part of divorce settlements over court ordered alimony. Texas does, however, allow for alimony or spousal support payments to be ordered, but there are very strict requirements that determine who is eligible.
