Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

Irritated sister

My bro. just got stuck paying $400 a mo. ch-support for 3 yr old daughter. Knowing the ex, I know that the $ will not go toward the niece. My bro and family has always provided for her. The ex and family live off of Indian benefits and any other handout they can get! Does my bro have the right to ask for receipts of $ spent on daughter? The ex told him she wasn't going after ch-support and that he could have the niece all holidays. When she realized she could actually get $ she changed her mind. Now he has weekends and a $400 a mo. bill! Is there anyway he can make sure the $ is spent on his daughter and not toward the ex? He has always provided for the daughter and is rightfully worried that he will be throwing the $ away instead of saving for his daughter. He will also still be paying part of her daycare. Is that right?? She is the one that walked out on him...reason...she just didn't want to be married anymore. Is there anything he can do? Thanks for your help!!

Re: Irritated sister

The child's mother has no legal obligation to provide receipts or any other justification for the way in which the child support funds are expended. Becoming "stuck" supporting one's child is a moral and legal obligation. The reasons for the break up of the relationship are irrelevant.
