QUESTION
Is inheritance a form of income? Family and child support or possibly civil rights law
Asked on Dec 26th, 2017 on Child Support - Iowa
More details to this question:
If a parent of a child/children receives inheritance and uses it monthly for living can it effect child support? Can it effect food stamp or snap payments? Can it effect anything Medicaid wise? Can they be obligated to pay for college if their inheritance is enough?
1 ANSWER
I do not know about government benefits, but it should not be used to calculate child support (unless there are extenuating circumstances - both parents have very low income, e.g.). If the money is in your name, you cannot be forced to pay for college.
