Not unless the court ordered it. You might want to check with your lawyer. The law may vary state to state. I know in North Carolina that unless it is in the child support papers that you don't have to show him anything. That was 5 years ago when I finished paying child support for my son at age 18.

I understand your frustration. I as a father show my daughter (10 years old) how much I pay for child support as well; because I want her to SEE what may be misconstrued. A little background on my situation, my ex-wife walked away (no mental, physical, sexual, verbal abuse) and chose not to let me have a say in it (this is a reoccourring issue; she did the same thing to her oldest daughter's dad). She met a man (her best friend's dad - NO JOKE who was still married) and had another child with him. He's retired and dosen't want her to work. She refuses to work, refuses to pay child support (She's $6,000 in arrears) has had her license suspend (still drives) gets $412/month from me (did I mention I have my daughter every other week) and gets $400/month from her oldest daughter's dad (who never gets to see her even though he has visitation and joint custody). She has 2 new vehicles and a home of her own. Me listing all the **** she's done and pulled in contempt (found guilty twice); this would be 3 times this long. So I show my daughter so my daughter knows what support I'm giving financially to her mom. She knows I love her because not only do I support her when I have her; I support her when her mom has her too. I just wish child support was not a end around for spousal support. He pays it it's his money he has a right to let his daughter see; are you misappropriating his support? U seem defensive

If you are suspected of substance abuse, you will be ordered by the court to show that the money is being used for the child.
Remember, child support is about sharing the expenses by both mother & father. Some courts have the father paying far more money than what uis really needed for the child, it's not to support mom's lifestyle.

I'm sure that this issue would be judged on state law if it were in the USA... it would vary from state to state.
In California, my ex-wife DID supply reciepts to her ex-husband regarding child support... we were not required to do this by the court but did it pre-emptively to avoid any troubles.
I suggest you check with your state / county family law-center. And try to avoid buying a big plasma TV the day after receiving your support check !!

I believe he can get it court ordered. My brother did.
The social security administration does the same for social security paid for a minor child. Not much difference.

Yes. It is legal for him to know that the money he gives you is going 100% for the well being of the child.

He can ask but you don't have to comply. Child support is used for anything that supports your child. Food, rent, clothes, utility bills, Eating out, baby sitters. What ever you and your child needs. This is his obligation. Tell him to grow up. Good luck.

I dont think so I think the court can ask you what you did with the money but I dont think he can all on his own. Keep track and remember some rent and utilities can be paid with the money.

he can ask....but the judge will laugh at him. what you do with the money he gives you is none of his business. as long as the children are fed, clothed properly, being taken to school, medically provided for.....it's none of his business. if he feels the children are being neglected, he can call CPS. if he asks....i'd show him the rent receipt.
