No. It depends on a lot of factors. In most situations, the mother gets custody of the child. If the mother is a felon of a drug addict, the child will probably go with the father. Money is rarely taken into consideration unless the mother cannot support the child with her income.

Is child support tax deductible if not then why?
Unlike alimony, child support is not tax-deductible and the receiving parent does not have to pay taxes on the income. Why? Because child support is designed to replace the additional resources lost when the parents divorced. If you were still married, you wouldn't be able to deduct the cost of little league uniforms or a new dress for the prom. As a parent it is your responsibility to provide financially for your child, whether he lives with you or not.

Can you get a scholarship for having divorced parents and living with a single parent?
Yes. Most scholarships are based on need, or on student achievement. If your single parent has no alimony, or child support for you, then usually the college looks at only the income from the parent you are living with. If the parent's income is low enough, then a scholarship might be available. The best thing to do is to contact the college to see what they would do for you.

If parents are divorced and the father dies does their mother automatically become the trustee of the children's inheritance?
No. A parent does not automatically become a child's legal representative in matters of inheritance. The court must appoint a legal guardian to control the minor child's inheritance in the best interest of the child. The parent may petition to be appointed but the court will make the decision after examining the child's situation.
