Get the court's approval for this first. Otherwise, you might end up paying twice. The best way to pay child support is to the courts or your State's disbursement unit.

Does your biological parent have rights to keep your deceased fathers child support to themselves?
The child support is paid to the parent, not the child, to pay for the expenses of the child. So as long as you have a roof over your head, food in your belly and clothes on your back my guess is that the child support is being used correctly.
Can you use child support that is owed to you to get a vehicle?
yes, you can use the child support to purchase a vehicle. Child support can be used for anything benefiting the child or children. A vehicle would help the child get to school, daycare, doctors appointments, etc... Child support is intended to support the child and can be used to pay bills (the child needs electricity, water, shelter, food, clothes and so on) so it can be used for various things.

Your daughters mom drops her off to you without food diapers or extra clothes is that neglect?
Providing diapers and food for your child when she is with you is your job. Child support only covers a little bit of what it actually costs to have a child. The extra clothes you can talk to the mom about so you always have some at home, or buy it yourself. And no, it's not neglect since this is something both parents have a obligation top provide.

Can you request the itemmized detail on how your child support is being used for your son in IL?
Nope, child support is to be spent at the custodial parents discretion. The presumption is that if the child is being properly cared for then the custodial parent is providing for the financial needs of the child. If the child is not being cared for you can report that to DCFS, but if the kid has clothes, shoes, food, and a place to live then whether the custodial parent gets spends the money you send to provide that, or gets it from grandma and then blows the child support on snickers bars is of no consequence.
Your child thinks his child support is for him to spend as he wishes?
Child support is for exactly that, supporting the child. Support being food, housing and clothes. Anything beyond that is not considered a necessity. Basic needs are the reason for support to be ordered. ---- I see this question, as well as complaints about how it's being spent, posted frequently on the various sites I review daily. It's a problem with the lack of a good perception of how the system works. In this regards, I recommend parents using Trust Funds to make sure the child is getting the full benefit of the child support obligation of both parents. see link below.
Can child support be stop by the child if they aren't getting it?
If the child support is not getting to the custodial parent, the court will seize the money and make sure it is delivered. But note that the child support is not given to the child. It is used to pay for the food, clothing, shelter, and essential needs of the child.

Child support is based upon the income of the parents. The custodial parent does not need to prove what the child support was used for. The custodial parent is expected to provide housing, food, utilities, etc. to the child.
If a mother gives her child food instead of love the child may develop what eating disorder?
Compulsive Over Eating. The child will form an unhealthy relationship with food and rather than bonding with a human, the child will bond with food. Thus, as an adult when something is upsetting and he/she needs support, he/she will run to food, instead of a human for support.
