Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

child support
I have a 13 yr old girl. I receive $396.00/month for child support. I am remarried and my husband and I are financially secure. We both have excellent jobs and a substantial amount of money in our joint account. My child support goes directly into another account that was previously set up prior to my account with my husband. My husband likes to ''check'' the child support occassionaly so he can see how I'm spending the money and he constantly fights me over it. I buy her clothes, monthly ''girly'' neccessities, eye contacts, and misc wants like going skating. My husband calls this account my ''secret account'' and has accused me of hiding money from him. He thinks I should put all her money in ''our'' account and pay things like the light bill or phone bill. It is a constant subject to fight about over and over. My daughter is a straight ''A'' student, and has been since she's been in school, and she's never any trouble, therefore I pretty much let her have new things (clothes, jewlery) as long as the money is available in her account. My husband calls it ''Brooke's $400/month spending allowance''. This just isn't true at all and I don't think he should have any input on it. Am I justified for not allowing him to control it?

Re: child support

Assuming your husband is not listed on the account, he has no control over it or how you spend it.
