One requirement of Head of Household is paying over 1/2 of the cost of Keeping Up the Home.
Custodial parent receives Spousal Support/Alimony. That is considered as belonging to that custodial parent, so that is used for considering if 1/2 of the cost of the home is paid for, RIGHT?
What about Child Support? My logic would say that belongs to the non-custodial parent and would NOT be considered for the custodial parent paying for the home. BUT I have stuck in my mind that it IS considered as belonging to the Custodial Parent which could be used for determining if over 1/2 is paid for. Does anybody have any input or citations on that?
