Legal Question in Family Law in California

Is back child support being paid back after 12 years considered part of a new income declaration in a unrelated case of a child you have now from second marriage that also ended. I consider it part of a past debt being paid back and not related to new case at all. What can you tell me

Child support being received isn't considered income at all. It is considered in determining child support, but not as income. To determine the impact on your current order, go to http://www.childsup.ca.gov/ and click on "Calculate Child Support." This will allow you to calculate what your child support should be.
