Q: My daughter is 25 i just started making payments. Should the money continue to go to her mom or my daughter?
I didn’t make payments when she was younger but not that i have a good job they are taking the money. Her mother is now remarried and my daughter is on her own. Is there anyway i can have the papers switched so that my daughter receives the help instead?
A: The mother was the parent supporting your daughter all those years that your arrearage was accruing. That money belongs to her, not your daughter, to repay some part of the costs she incurred to make up for your failure to pay. She is the one out of pocket all those years, not your daughter.
