Neither the custodial parent's drug use nor the child's age is a defense against not paying past-due child support.

Can your parents legally spend your child support money on themselves?

If a minor child is being abused or neglected, the obligated parent paying the child support can (and should) request an investigation by the state's department of child protective services. The court does not monitor the use of child support monies if the child has not been neglected, abused or is living in an environment which could be considered unsuitable. For example, if the minor child is not receiving necessities, food, clothing, medical care, education, and so forth; and it can be proven that the custodial parent used the support money for drugs, gambling, alcohol, etc. there could be grounds for prosecution of that individual and the minor would in all likelihood be made a "ward of the state".

What actions can be taken on a non-custodial father who is behind on child support and he is out running the streets on drugs?

He can be subsequently jailed for drug charges and that he's an endangerment to his children due to the choice of lifestyle. Liens can be placed on property of value like his car or anything of value to get the behind child support. * Child support arrearages is a civil matter and has nothing to do with the alledged drug activities. Recovery of child support arrearages and enforcement of child support orders can be done in two ways, by the custodial parent filing a lawsuit in the state circuit court in the county of residence or by enlisting the assistance of the state's child support enforcement agency. If the father has visitation or custodial rights and he is placing the child in jeopardy by his lifestyle the custodial parent should request an investigation by the state's department of child protective services.
