I beg to differ, at least for Canada, where the laws changed some
years back, so that CS awards are now tax free to the recipient
( mother ), and are taxable at the payor's end ( father ).

Granted, the courts were supposed to change their award numbers,
such that the numbers changed from a " gross " set, to a " net "
set. But, one likely result was that, on the CS $s, the tax take
went up, as the payor was likely to be in a higher bracket than
the recipient.

OTOH< we have a budget in surplus.
