Question
Shalom and blessings. Should I tithe from the alimony I receive from my ex-husband for my daughter? It should be noted that, thank God, I am financially stable with a monthly income.Thank you very much
Answer
Shalom and blessings
Generally, alimony is not intended solely for the expenses of the daughter, and in months when there is a surplus, the money is also used for your personal needs. Therefore, it should be treated as income, and you should tithe from it.
Especially since you are financially stable.
