The custodial parent is entitled to these benefits, but they must be included in calculating the amount of child support. You have to file a motion to have the Court recalculate the correct amount.

The other attorney is correct, but I would still call an attorney before you do anything. You might be in good shape without one, but it pays to speak to one first.
