My ex-husband makes three times more money than I do. He moved away and I have to drive a hour one way to get my two day weekend visitation time with my child. I am paying $380.00 a month and didn't even gross 30k last year. I live in Oregon.

If you divorced in Oregon then you should have a parenting plan. In that parenting plan it should say something like "if either party moves more than 60 miles further distant from the other party"...
If this happened, you should be able to go back to court and request that the judge order your ex-husband to be responsible for transporting the child to you, rather than your having to go and get them (after all, he moved, not you). But the line is very clear - it needs to be 60 miles, not an hour...
The next thing is if your divorce and child support decision was done in Oregon, you are entitled to have the state re-evaluate how much you pay for child support based on what you earn and what he earns. It's based on what the child needs and then is split between you based on percentages of income. If your income has declined or his has increased, it sounds like it's time to have the costs examined again. There is a child support calculator online that you can use to see how much you should be paying and how much he should. The link is http://dcs.state.or.us/calculator/
To answer the question you asked about deductions for child support, the IRS says "Child support payments are neither deductible by the payor nor taxable to the payee.", so no, unfortunately you can't deduct them. But you may be able to get them reduced as I described above.

i imagine there's some information you're leaving out... at the same time as the divorce grow to be finalized, there ought to were a baby help order in position. Why are you attempting to get again baby help? in case you've had custody for 3 years, the courtroom shouldn't purely hand her over to the mum for no reason. relatives courtroom does not change custody over except a baby is in chance. regardless of the indisputable fact that, she ought to actual ask for better visitation time. you ought to commence preserving music of at the same time as the mum sees her/takes her. That way if she does attempt to get better visitation, you may educate that she's not even utilising the visitation that she has now.

No,, and believe me I know the system, because it screwed me. You cannot claim child support for income tax purposes, and he does not have to claim the extra income on his income taxes. It works both ways. email me for more info if you want???

I think you can claim taxes on that. I know my ex claimed taxes on what he paid in child support in Alabama.

I believe that would be a deduction, if you itemize. If you are using a computer program, like TurboTax, it will help you figure that out. You should also check the IRS website.
