Child support is a responsibility no matter what, if the mother or the father leaves one of them needs to pay up.

I would just want to ensure the money is being used for the kid and not for the mother or father which sadly that is what happens most of the time these days.

With regards to where the child supports payments are used, you're spot on with your statement.

Unfortunately, rather than paying directly Into the child's expenses, they deposit the check Into the mother's account. A nice gift for her next hair and nail appointment. Pertaining to the mother or father leaving and paying, It's not structured and formulated correctly. For example, the child support agency doesn't take Into account all the years the father has worked for the kids, whilst the mother didn't contribute a single dime towards the children and their needs. As the agency sees It, once the father leaves, It's time to pay- Irrespective of previous contributions.
