Statutes vary by state, but generally yes. The problem is proving she is not. Before you go off trying to prove it, don't bother. What you can do, if you feel she is not providing the daily needs of the child, you may petition the courts for a change of custody, removing the children from her. Doing this, it would be necessary to prove abuse, negligence, or an unsafe environment. Before you begin such an action, consider the consequences to your children. There will be trauma, and you would be the one causing it, at least the one catalyzing it.

You have to consider what is best for the children, and if the mistake you made getting involved with the mother is worth making them pay for it. It was your mistake after all; they had nothing to do with it. Sometimes as fathers, we have no choice but to lay down, especially when we played a role in making the situation a reality.

If basic needs of your children are being met, whether by you or by her, let it go, what ever it is. As long as your children are safe, take the hit and drive on. It's only money, and child support doesn't last forever. Live secure in the knowledge that if she is abusing the situation between you, karma will balance the situation one day. Just make sure that you are on the right side of karma.

Does the father have the right to know where child support is going in Illinois?

No. Sad but true. The parent receiving the support does not have to provide proof of how it is being spent. Child support is in place to help house, feed, clothe and educate the child. If it pays an electric bill, then that is what it pays.

Who receives the child support if a 17-year-old moves out of the mother's house and moves in with a friend?

The family with whom the minor child is living would be required to file suit against the parent currently receiving the child support monies if they wish to be reimbursed for expenses related to the minor child. The child support monies do not automatically revert to the person(s) with whom the minor child is residing. The current support order will stay in effect and all terms must be adhered to until the order is amended or rescinded. The parent receiving the child support monies has the legal obligation to inform the court of the minor child's change of residence. If the custodial parent objects to the minor's living arrangements the court may order the minor to return to the parental home.

You are in 12Th grade and will be 18 in 2 months are you legally intitled to your Pennsylvania child support that your mom receives for you if you move out?

~Actually that money is for the child since the order was created. Therefore if the original order said over the age of 18 as many are until the child turns 18 then the child is entitled to the money as they have always been entitled to the money. Child support is used by the custodial parent to care for the child, therefore when the child is no longer living in the house, there is no "custodial" parent. This is especially true for child receiving support payments who are in college.For the original poster. I would be careful to check the original court order to determine if you are entitled to any money if you are over the age of 18 and if you are over the age of 18 what the conditions to continue receiving the money are. You may have to be in college.

How do you emancipate a child from child support?

Children are not "emancipated" from child support. They are "entitled" to financial support by the non-custodial parent. In general, children become emancipated by leaving their parent(s)' house and becoming self-supporting. Child support is usually not due for an emancipated child.
