2) Support for a child means any support payment that is not identified in the order or agreement as being only for the recipient’s maintenance.

In all cases, the payer and the recipient must live apart because of a breakdown in the relationship when the payments are made. For an amount to be considered a support payment, it must meet certain conditions. |
