Child support can be used as income as long as it meets ceratin guidlines.
Has been recieved as required to be paid for last 12 months or longer
Is paid on time as required to be paid
Will continue 3 + years (document ages of the children)
It is not taxable. The $1,000 can be grossed up 125%

There appears to be no history of payment thus far. Probably not useable until there is a history of payment.

some (few) lenders might look at the impending receipt of child support as a "compensating factor" in reviewing your qualifications. in other words, they MIGHT allow you to refinance despite not qualifying. this will be based on a whole array of other factors, i'm sure, such as equity in the property, your assets, your credit, your job stability, etc.
