Yes, child support has no bearing on your income. It is considered income to support the children. Your lack of employment will not affect the need for the other individual to pay you. If the other person becomes unemployed, they will still need to pay you.

∙ 13y agoYes, and it should be. You do not want to leave this open, as after you get a job you could be ordered to pay a retroactive amount based on the income amount at that time. Setting it now, based on the unemployment amount, or zero if your unemployment has run out, prevents unnecessary arrears in the future. see links below
