A judge here in Nebraska has accepted VA benefits in place of child support to the mother. I am a disabled veteran and my children receive a 100 percent tuition waiver from the state and also receive a stipend to live off of while they are enrolled in college. This stipend and the tuition waiver are clearly more than the child support would have totaled. We presented the case to the judge and he agreed with us that since my daughter would receive the checks directly from the VA and they are considered a stipend to "live off of" and support her while in college, then the mother has no right to expect any child support. This in addition to the tuition waiver would be way more than the child support anyway. My wife was very angry at the decision.
