I agree. Not counting child support as part of your income should not only increase complying with making the payments but also will offer some more support to the parent paying child support. This in turn will let the parent feel less stress about managing their day to day lives and hopefully lead to better compliance and involvement with their children.
I agree with this proposed action. After studying SNAP as part of a graduate school class assignment it was brought to my attention that the current SNAP benefits most receive do not even last them the entire month. To ensure people continue to pay child support and to make sure they receive hopefully enough benefits, the support amount paid should be excluded from countable income.
