Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
not sure where the money for support is going
is it possible to get proof that the child support money is being spent only on the child and proof of a seperate bank account reflecting what has been paid into it and what has been withdrawn solely for the childs needs so the parent that has main possesion isnt using the money for his or her own pleasure?

Re: not sure where the money for support is going
You cannot force the custodial parent to prove they are paying child support for the child. However, if the child is not getting the basic necessities and the child support is sufficient to give them those necessities, then you might ought to seek a change in custody.
Re: not sure where the money for support is going
There is no requirment that child support be strictly accounted for as you suggest. Please don't be so foolish as to make this request to the judge. You would only antagonize the court -- big time.
Re: not sure where the money for support is going
Does your child wear clothes and shoes, eat food, get driven in a car, have a place to live, is there electricity in the residence, is there gas in the car, is there water in the residence? --
If so, then you now know where your child support goes.
