Nope. That money goes to the parent to aid in raising the child. Although the bad parent uses the money for their own good, all of it should be used to raise the child not to invest.

No, it is awarded to the recipient to do with as he or she sees fit.
As long as the children have a standard of living judged by the court as usual and acceptable, the money is 100% in control and use of the person awarded it. Not the kids.
There is always a huge misconception among teenagers especially that it is "their money.." It's not.

its Child SUPPORT, not Child TRUST FUND. that money is not supposed to be put away, nor given to the child(ren). it is to be used for doctors, rent, electric, food, medicines, over the counter medicines, school supplies, lunches, class trips, class pictures, laundry det, toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper, bra's, pads or what else they need.
so NO, the child is not entitled to recieve it when they reach 18.

No. The child support is aid in raising the children. It's not to say you can't invest it, just saying that unless you put it in trust with their name on it, it is yours.

Only if you put it in their name. If it's in your name, it's yours....until you die that is.
