Q: I would like to recieve the child support my mother is receiving, I am 20 years old in college struggling.
My mother was absent until I was 12 then due to a family issue I moved in with her for 3 years it was a nightmare so I moved back in with my grandma and from there bouncing from place I haven't been stable. I feel my mother does not deserve anything she has never been a real mother
A: If someone (perhaps your father) has been court-ordered to pay child support to your mother, that person can ask the court to end the ongoing support obligation. But you would not have standing to request such modification; child support is payable to the custodial parent or other person. Perhaps your grandmother can make such a request, if she is still supporting you.
