Mortgage and Other Income?

Sorry if this has been asked before I couldn't find it on the search facility.

Do any lenders consider wftc or maintenance as 'other income'? if so, which lenders are these?

Thanks
I wished the buck stopped here as I could use a few!

    Many lender s will accpet these - however at varying degrees i.e some will take all of the income into account and other say only 50%

    Is the maintenace supported by a court order?

  • No its not supported by a court order but my ex partner has paid me on time every week for the last 7 years, but I suppose they wouldn't take that into account and wouldn't expect them too.
