If child still lives at home with Mother, the support would still go to her but if the child moves away for college, the support should follow the child. There will need to be a modification filed with the court to change this.

Legally your support is there to compensate the custodial parent for half of the expense of raising the child so as long as the living expenses are being paid by her it belongs to her.

That depends on your separation agreement, child support orders and state laws.

State laws vary.Some states require that child support continues until the child has job training or an undergraduate decree. A custodial parent can negotiate for child support to continue through college. Child support ends at 18 in many states.You should review your divorce agreement and child support order and consult with an attorney if you still have questions.

It depends on what the child support order states/where you live. In the US, in a few states parents are required to pay child support while the child is in college. But in most states the court can't order it, but if the parent voluntarily agreed to it, then it'll be placed in the order and that order will be enforced.

It depends on your state. In most states, child support ends automatically once the child graduates high school and reaches the age of majority. However, a few states require parents to pay "education support" for a child in collage.

In some states yes, in others no. Only Oregon mandates it, but some states have provisions allowing for extension of child support until age 19 up to 21 for unmarried dependents enrolled in college or it may be included in the original custody/support agreement.

You would need to provide your state (or country, if outside of the USA) for an informed answer.

Not automatically. Your parent have to go back to court to modify the child support order so it gets to you directly. This is something your parents decide so speak to them.
