My babys father is 21.. going on 22 and is just now deciding to return to school and since he is doing that he is going to start receiving back child support from his own father. he is supposed to receive 98,000 dollars in back support. i was wondering how this kind of money is usually disbursed. Also, he and i are no longer together and i am going to be putting him on child support when my baby arrives in 2 months. Since he will be receiving this money is my son entitled to some of it for his child support?

Also how do courts usually determine visitation? see my babys father has a criminal record and often has warrants out for his arrest and i dont want to risk losing my child because he was with his dad at the wrong place at the wrong time! And i have a warrant out for my arrest because his own mother stole my checks (which i just figured out it was her) and wrote bad checks all over town and i cant get any help from the police clearing my name!!

I know i picked a winner...lol!! but now im in a really bad situation and i need some guidance so it anyone has any suggestions please contact me!!

thanks a bunch

Go get an attorney or get the child support prosecutor to represent you and pursue a portion of that for child support. I imagine this amount is for tuition and fees for college, which is not cheap these days.

Any past due child support from his father will go to his mother, not him. His child support for your child will be set at his income.

I'm not so sure this is correct, since he is now an adult and not a minor. Usually the child support is paid to the mother simply because the child is a minor and in her custody. Since he is now an adult and has custody of himself so-to-speak, it should be paid to him. I don't know what kind of chance you'd have at getting a portion of the child support for your child, it's not income for him, it's support that was required for his own support. Contact an attorney to start establishing a child support order.

Once a person becomes an adult, they are no longer entitled to "child support". Any payments this mans father makes would be on PAST DUE child support. This will still go to the mother, since it is considered money she already spent to raise the child.

I see your point. Your right, I got confused. Although, RowlettSweetie55 stated that he would be getting the back child support because he is going to school - I'd like to hear about how that is the case. Like you said, if it's back child support, it is owed to the mother, but what does him going to college have to do with it being paid now?

It's possible that mom may be using the money to pay for his college. Then he would be benefitting from the money, but he wouldn't be the one that received it. Either way, that money will have no bearing on HIS CS case. That money would be considered as a repayment of debt, not income.
