Title: Student Loan Monies
Post by: backwardsbike on Aug 24, 2006, 06:30:16 PM
Hi Soc,

All parties in PA.  Custody and CS order also in PA.  

I am a returning adult student adn will be attending graduate school.  i have been awarded several thousand dollars in student loans.  I wanted to use some of the money to pay off some credit card debt which I have accrued.

Questions:

If I accept the loan monies will it be considered income for child support purposes?

If the above is yes, would I have to pay support on the money even though I had to pay it out almost immediately to keep from going bankrupt?

A loan is not income. A grant/scholarship is income.

irrelevant.
