If a man is paying child support for his 17 year old son is he allowed to give his son the child support money or does he have to give it to the mother of the child?
This would depend on a variety of things. It depends on the laws where you are located as well as the way your child support payments were laid out when given. There are situations where that has happened however, the purpose for child support is to pay to support the child with living (rent, food etc. ). If there is a reason you feel that your money is not going to provide the necessities for your child and being spent else you should go to your lawyer to discuss this situatio further. Also, most child support stops at the time your child turns the age of majority unless stated otherwise in your custody/support payments. I realize this may not directly answer your question but situations such as this vary from situation to situation - it is all individual - the best thing you could do is speak with your lawyer concerning this matter.
How can you make sure support payments go to the child?
Child support payments are not intended to go to the child. They are intended to help maintain the quality of life for the child and custodial parent. That means they go toward rent, utilities such as heat, electricity and hot water, phone expenses, food, clothing, shoes, medical needs, school expenses, transportation, entertainment- if there is anything left, etc. The custodial parent has the right to spend the money in any way money is spent on necessities in an intact family. Once you make your payments you have no control over how the funds are spent.
