Q: My 17 yr old nephew hasn’t lived with his mom in months his dad pays child support but my nephews mom doesn’t give him
Any money She buys it on alcohol and stuff could she legally get in trouble holding his money from him?
A:
More information is needed before an accurate answer can be provided. Generally, the father can file a modification and present evidence of the son’s actual living arrangements. It is best to consult an attorney who can assist you all with the details of your case.
I wish you well.

A:
The father needs to file a modification in order to stop the child support payments. Child support is never given directly to the child.
