A: If there is a current order of support which shows that your mother has custody, you will need to modify that order so that you have custody and are then entitled to receive the support.
A: It sounds like the situation has changed so the child support order needs to as well. You need to seek a modification to the order. Consult with an attorney regarding the proper course of action.
