Anything that benefits the child such as rent, utilities, medical and dental treatment, clothing, food, school expenses, recreation, computers, books, etc.
Child support should go towards support of the child, such as: diapers, clothing, food, medicine, furniture, toys, entertainment and so on. Child support is simply a non-custodial parent's financial share of supporting a child that they would normally spend if they were still in the home. It is not a penalty. It is a responsibility.
You should review the child support order and if it doesn't state the child support should continue then notify the court. You may no longer be required to pay.You should review the child support order and if it doesn't state the child support should continue then notify the court.

In many jurisdictions, yup.
Most states place a cap on the amount of child care that can be reimbursed through child support. The custodial parent can spend whatever they like on child care, but child support will usually only consider up to a maximum amount. For example, your state may conclude that any amount over $800/month is unreasonable for child care. The custodial parent could still pay $1200/month on child care, but child support would only be calculated based on the maximum amount of $800. Not all states have such a cap. Your state's child support guidelines should list that amount, if there is one.
I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
yes it is and should be reported.
Of course not. Child support is for the support of a minor child. Why should the child be deprived of financial support if her mother dies. The order can be modified and it will be paid over to her legal guardian if that person is not the other parent.Of course not. Child support is for the support of a minor child.

No. Child support arrears are owed to the parent.
Child support is paid to meet the needs of a child. If the child needs a cell phone, yes.
