Today we're addressing recent rumors concerning President Trump's alleged changes to child support laws.

Over the past week, social media platforms have been abuzz with claims that President Trump has enacted a new law preventing parents who receive child support from claiming child tax benefits. Specifically, these posts suggest that only the parent paying child support would be eligible for such tax benefits. However, these assertions are unfounded.As of now, President Trump has not introduced or signed any legislation altering the current child support or child tax credit laws. The existing regulations remain unchanged: typically, the custodial parent—the one with whom the child resides for the majority of the year—has the right to claim the child as a dependent for tax purposes. This entitles them to benefits like the Child Tax Credit.
