Child Support Experience?

Question

I have a 16 year old daughter who has had a telephonic relationship with her dad for 9 years and 4 physical visits.(his choice) Father paid $38 p/m CS for 6 years. Daughter request to live w/Dad under the presumption of no rules and a party lifestyle. After being terrorized for 6 months by her Dad, I relented. I have sent non-court ordered payments to the dad(tripled the amount he was ordered), along w/ clothing, personal items, health ins. every month. Father needs more $ to aid in his sedentary lifestyle. I supported my daughter financially since birth and will continue to do so. Problem: her father does not maintain a w-2 job. He avoided being a w-2 job to avoid an increase in child support (by choice) is a bonified habitual drug abuser.Resides w/2 other adult users. Due to her age, has anyone had any experiences where the court will allow, a percentage of $ to go direct to Dad and the rest to child ie: gift cards, bank debit cards? etc

Was unaware of conditions until daughter informed me after about a month when he could no longer hide his demons. CPS unwilling to intervene due to age and non-violence. Local police department made me aware of conditions when I called to inquire if there was a lot of activity in the home. Father legally seeking more $. His payment was 456.00 p/year and he is seeking from me that amount P/Month. I will continue to support my daughter. Tough to swallow the thought of support being snorted, shot or smoked up. Unsure how to handle if she does not receive the proper care and then asks for money for clothes, personal items, school activities...how to deny her due to her father's habits?

Answer 1

Ok- i'm confused -- why would you give in to her going to live with him- unless I misunderstood it. No way would I let her go live with him - no way would I send him child support unless I wa mandated to -and clothing etc? That is basically telling your daughter - go live with your dad- and I will continue to provide everything..........
Maybe I misunderstood- because I can't see you voluntarily giving into that.

Answer 2

If I was you I would get a lawyer and seek into getting your daughter back into your home. If he's using drugs then who knows what could possibly happen to your daughter or what she could actually get involved in. Maybe the court would be willing to intervene, which would force the police to do so as well.

Answer 3

for the period of a courtroom case, someone whose paternity is in question might want to request to the courtroom for leave to acquire blood tests to confirm paternity. If the Courts trust that the paternity attempt is a need contained in the case, leave will be granted. contained in the progression that someone refuses to submit to blood tests said by technique of the courtroom, he gained't be modern in contempt of courtroom; although the courtroom will draw an unfavourable inference from the refusal.depending on the selection of the paternity sorting out. someone might want to or gained't be required to pay infant help. The state might want to require a range of paternity in the previous setting up infant help funds, infant custody, or visitation. If the daddy of the child refuses to renowned parenthood, a paternity action may be the purely recourse to acquire help funds from the organic father or any public practise.
