How do you get child support from the father?

Answer 1

The custodial parent who receives child support payments is legally required to use the funds for the welfare of the child/children for living necessities, educational costs and so forth. The custodial parent is considered the conservator of the minor child/children and is not required to give said children any of the support money for their personal use unless they choose to do so.

Answer 2

Only after the age of majority, with a request to modify by the obligor parent. If there is a concern with how it is spent, the obligor parent could request the use of a trust fund. see links below

Answer 3

In general, child support is a percentage of net income. In Illinois, for example, it's 20% of net income for one child, 25% for two, etc. Income includes almost everything, including overtime, unemployment benefits and workers compensation, but not welfare payments or SSI.

Answer 4

You have to go to court unless he pays voluntarily. It's always good to have these things down on paper in case oyu one day don't get along..

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!

Answer 5

no because it is the kids money and it is illegal to steal so the answer would be no
