By law, no. He has no rights to know where you spend any of your money, and the csa is your money. The only exception is if he were to suspect there was a misuse of funds. Such as purchasing illegal drugs and such. Even then it would have to be the court ordering you to produce receipts for your spending, not your ex-husband. He's just trying to be controlling and probably weasel a way in to lowering the amount he pays by proving you're buying things you don't truly need.
Next time he brings it up, tell him to get a lawyer or leave it alone. Its not his business

No he does not have a right to ask and you are not obligated to give him reciepts unless ordered by the court. Tell him to try and pay everything out of child support to support the kids cause it does not work that way. I have a full time job and get child support. they act like they are paying so much but it does not even cover everyday living for the child

He can ask!!! What would he do if he didn't agree with how you spent the money? At the end of the day, he has to pay the child support so getting a receipt will not change that. Start giving copies of utility bills, food shopping bills, school uniform bills, petrol costs, the works. How can a parent provide a receipt for all the hard work and mundane tasks they provide for their children anyway?

He can ask, but you do not have to. That is your money, to help with providing for the child, Rent, so the child has a roof over his head, A car, to transport the child, food, whatever you put that money towards is up to you as long as the childs needs are being met. Even if you use it on yourself. Like if you spend it on clothes, for work, you need them so you work and pay for stuff for the child... gas, whatever it is your money to offset the living expenses of raising a child...

Short answer-no. He can ask, but unless you're ordered by the court you have no obligation to provide receipts on anything other than UNCOVERED medical expenses which you share the costs of (ie braces, co insurance etc) because support agencies can not 'guess' the dollar amount of medical procedures not yet performed.

He can ask anything he likes but legally you do not have to provide him with reciepts.
To be truthful I think it would be a good thing if you did, then he wouldn't be able to imply you don't spend the child support on the child and if you find the child support isn't covering the childs needs you would have a record to prove it when you go back to court. The down side is if you don't use all the child support for the childs needs then you would be giving him evidence to use against you.

No, your husband has no legal right to ask for receipts. What you do with the money or how you apply it or spend it is truly none of his business. He's main concern is that your children/or child is being properly taken care of. But, no you don't have to show him proof of anything and you shouldn't neither..

the answer is no, but as i have paid my ex nearly 30k in the last 10 yrs i think you should, just to make sure that the money is going to the right place and not just extra money for you to buy a house, new car, and whatever else you fancy getting . and all that money is tax free !!!!!!!! i know my ex squandered it on herself !!!! but again CSA rules ha ha ha what a joke, the sooner they sort it out the better

No. If you pay rent, buy groceries, clothes, medicines, etc etc, it should be obvious to him what his moneyis going on. Of course, if he has never bothered in the past, he obviously hasn't got a clue and is just being difficult.
Hm - what a nana the guy above is. How on earth do you divide it up?????? Ignore him.
It's a control issue. He wants to control you. If your child is healthy and well looked after, then there obviously isn't a problem.
