Mom2 - How are you coming up with $6,000? If the sister has 12000 income and Mom supports her to the tune of 6,000 that would mean her total would be 18000 (12000 + 6000) and the 6,000 Mom is providing would be just 1/3 of that. In order to be providing > 50% of her support, I think Mom would have to prove she is providing more in support than the daughter - so $12000+ in support for the sister, not $6,000. (she doesn’t have to show she is providing half again what the sister earns but half her support).
