I'm currently 17 and will go to college this fall. I live with my dad, and my mom pays child support to him. When I go to college, I would like that child support to go straight to me in college to help pay for living expenses and not to my dad. I just wanted to know what had to be done to get this to happen.

Answer 1 :
The child support payments go directly to your dad not you..you should ask him to set up an account for you and have the monies go into that account for college expenses..some parents actually do that for their college full time children..
Answer 2 :
Your going to have to get it from your dad. They can't pay you directly.
Answer 3 :
can't
Answer 4 :
You dad won't help pay for any living expenses once you're in college? If he doesn't use the support money towards your care once you're in college, you can hire a lawyer to see if support can be directed to you. But generally, support is paid to the parent who is caring for the child, not the child him/herself. (Although you'll hardly be a child in college.)
Answer 5 :
You can't, the money goes to the parent to care for the child. Is he still providing your health care, and buying your clothes? If you get financial aid, I know that until you turn 24 the parent is expected to pay a portion of the tuition, so your dad will be able to use the child support toward that expense as well since it is for you. I suggest that you get a job and try to save some money and plan on working when you get to college to help pay the bills.
Answer 6 :
why do kids think child support goes to them? it costs a lot more to raise a kid than child support is. your dad will still have child expenses even while you are in school
Answer 7 :
you can set up your own account and ask your dad transfer the whole amount...and this is the only way you can opt as you cannot get the money..the money goes only to the care taker and not the child..
