What is non-tanf child support?

Non-TANF child support refers to child support payments that are received by a parent who is not receiving any form of government assistance, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). These payments are typically court-ordered and made by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent to help cover the costs associated with raising a child.

Unlike TANF child support, non-TANF child support payments do not usually involve the government as an intermediary. This means that the custodial parent will typically receive the full amount of the child support payments that are owed, without any deductions or fees.

Non-TANF child support payments are typically calculated based on the income of both parents, as well as the number of children involved. In some cases, child support payments may also take into account other factors, such as the costs associated with medical care, education, or other special needs of the child.

In general, non-TANF child support payments are an important source of financial support for custodial parents, and can play a crucial role in ensuring that children receive the care and resources they need to thrive.
