If your ex is the custodial parent then you are required to pay child support however if you have joint custody the order could change drastically. If you have your child as much as your ex and you dont have joint custody appointed by the court then you should file for it to reduce your payments.

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.

What do you say to your 18 yr old child who thinks he should be given more from your child support check then what you already give him?

You could demonstrate how much he actually costs each month incl living expenses such as room and food etc. Also inform him that he is actually not supposed to get anything from the child support in cash. That is for you to pay for what he needs. Children are not the ones getting paid the child support. At 18 it should also end unless he is still in school or there is some other reason in the support agreement or state law. If he wants to discuss his allowance is one thing but the child support is not for him to discuss, that is between his parents.
