The child support, paid to the parent who have custody of you, is to pay for a roof over your head, food on the table, visits to the doctor, clothes on your body and a million other things that you need, not necessarily want but need, so if it's so bad you don't get those things you need to all the Child Protective Service since you are not being taken care of.

Does your biological parent have rights to keep your deceased fathers child support to themselves?

If you send your child to the father for a year should you be required to send him the child support money back?
Yes, its child support. If the money is not used to support the child then its being misused. Alimony would be to support you. If the father is looking after the child, then he should not be paying child support to the mother - she doesn't have the cost of looking after the child at that time. In fact, the mother may well be in a position to send chilod support to the father - it goes both ways and she is responsible for the child just as much as the father is.

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.
When a child is being kept by the grandparent is the grandparent's income used when calculating the father's child support payments?
The parents are responsible for child support, not the grandparents. If the grandmother has legal custody the child support payments should go directly to her via a court order. All states in the US have child support guidelines, based on income and other factors, that must be used to calculate what the non-custodial parent(s) must pay.It should be noted that if the child lives with her grandparent that grandparent is already contributing to the child's support above and beyond the payments made by the parent(s). Child support payments rarely amount to enough to completely support the child.
