Q: Child support if child lives with aunt.
How would I go about paying child support to the aunt instead of the mother since the child is living with the aunt. How long would the child have to stay with the aunt before she could get the child support? What steps would need to be taken? I currently pay support through fsr with CSE.
A: You will need to seek a modification of the support order. You can contact an attorney or your local courthouse will have resources. You can also contact the child support office. Court personnel cannot provide legal advice, but they can direct you the correct forms.

A: Courts do not like self help and want people to follow proper procedures. If your ex does not agree to you directing the child support to the aunt, then you will need to file a motion asking the court to modify orders to indicate that so long the child is with the aunt, support goes through the aunt.
