Of course. Child support is for the child, not the custodial parent and even if the child is not living in the home, expenses for that child continue and need to be met.
If you feel the support you pay is being diverted for illegal purposes, you are free to petition the court for modification of the support order or request the child support be paid to the people where the child is living.
What else can I help you with?

A father has been paying child support for eight years. He has lost his home by foreclosure and his wife is disabled. Can he get a modification of the child support order?
Possibly. He must return to the court that issued the child support order and request a modification due to a change in circumstances. It is up to the court whether the child support order will be modified. He should act ASAP.
Can a father stop paying child support when the child is 18 but still lives at home and is a fulltime college student in Oklahoma?

Can you stop paying child support since your husband's 17-year-old son has moved out of his mother's home and into his 22-year-old sister's home who got social services to send the support to her?
The obligated parent should not cease paying court ordered child support regardless of the circumstances. Once a court order has been executed the only option is to petition for the order to be amended or dismissed. If the sister is receiving support payments for her sibling via state social services the action is legal and the child support order remains valid.
Can you stop paying a child support order because you over paid or do you have to go to court?
Do not try this at home - go to court.
When does child support stop in New York state when the child attends college?
Regardless of college, child support runs until age 21. If the child is no longer living in the custodial parent's home, than a motion should be filed for that parent to also be paying. see links below
If your child runaway from custodial home and is a minor because she doesn't want to follow rules then the noncustodial parent is off the hook for paying child support to the custodial parent right?
That's an interpretive item meant for a judge. At the minimum, the separated parent should file an emergency motion to modify custody of a child in need of care. You can never stop paying the support without the approval of the court. see link
My husband is still paying child support for his child who is 18.5 She has not yet graduated high school We just found out she moved out of her mother's home 3 weeks ago. Should he still have to pay?

Do you still have to pay child support in tn if the child is in high school but not living at home any more?
The money should go to the child so if he/she does not live with the guardian anymore you should probably go to court so the person he/she lives with/is the guardian, can take care of the money for him/her. If the current guardian does not live with him/her but the money still goes to the child there should be no problem and you continue paying for your child. I imagine that if the child live by him/herself there are bills that needs to be paid and if the child support is used for that it is used for the right purpose. Your responsibility as a parent has not stopped just because the child moves. Child support does not stop until the child is an adult.
Does child support continue when said child is sixteen years old and has run away from home?
It depends on the how the support was laid out legally. You should check your local laws because it also depends where you are located and the age of majority there - support usually stops when the child has reached age of majority unless otherwise stated by both parties. Now, again checking your local laws, if the child is no longer residing with the person that is receiving the support payments the support payments should no longer have to be made. Child support payments are paid to support a child.
When my daughter was living with me she ran away for 3 months and I was actively trying to get her home and I kept a home for her while she was gone. Was I still entitled to collecting it?
Not after 30 days. How long do you think the father of Jaycee Lee Dugard should have kept paying child support?
