Can you tell me where I can find this ruling?
I tried google and the IRS website
My Ex refuses to give me what he pays until I can show him I can take and it would really help
us out if I could claim what he pays also.
Thanks
Are you referring to child support?
IRS Publication 504, Divorced or Separated Individuals, page 17 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p504.pdf#page=17
Child support. A payment that is specifically designated as child support or treated as specifically designated as child support under your divorce or separation instrument isn’t alimony. The amount of child support may vary over time. Child support payments aren’t deductible by the payer and aren’t taxable to the payee.
