With some exceptions,child support is not paid directly to the child because it is not "the child's money" - it is compensation to the custodial parent because they are raising the child alone. Child support must be paid to the custodial parent or legal guardian.
However, if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent (in the case of an emancipated minor or a child 18 or older who is a full-time student), the court can be petitioned to have the money directly paid to the child.

Be polite but persistent. Good luck!

∙ 12y agoWell, once you have been determined to be the child's father and been ordered to pay child support you can request a visitation schedule at the same time. Once your paternity has been established legally you do have parental rights that can be enforced via a court order.

Can child support stop to the mother that has signed over her rights?
Child support is paid to support the child and follows the child; it is paid to the child's custodial parent, or to a guardian. So if the mother has lost her rights, she is no longer custodial and therefore may no longer have charge of the funds. Child support will still have to be paid though and this time also by the mother, to the one now taking care of the child. If the child is being adopted you pay until the adoption is finalized.
Does SC allow the non custodial parents sign away rights if the pay child support?
The right to sign away your parental rights is not based on child support. Unless the child is being adopted the child support will still have to be paid whether you voluntarily give up your rights or not.
In Idaho does a man have rights to a child whom he helped raise and to whom he paid child support for three years and then found out the child was not his?
You need a lawyer for this one, and yes, you do have rights because you have #1 been lied too and #2 paid child support. This case would go to court and you may win. Be sure you have all cancelled checks for what you paid in child support. Good luck Marcy

Can a mother claim child support if her rights were taken due to drug charges?
No. If her parental rights have been revoked by the court she would not have custody of a minor child and therefore not eligible for funds to support that child. If child support were being paid before the mother's rights were terminated that support now belongs to the person(s) or agency having legalcustody of the child.
Do you have to pay back child support after relinquishing rights in Texas?
You can't fully relinquish your rights until that back child support is paid. So you have to either pay it first or the custodial parent voluntarily waives it.
If one parent is in the us and the child is UK do they paid child support?
Yes, but don't expect the UK to honor your access rights.
Can a mother receive child support if she has signed over her rights?
In general, support is paid to the parent or other caretaker who has custody of the child (or to the State as reimbursement for assistance furnished).
If a mom signs over her rights due to defiant behaviors from the minor child is she obligated to pay child ssupport?
by "signing over rights" I persume you mean, terminating her parental rights and no, she is not obligated to pay child support, however, any accumulated back child support, or "arrears" is required to be paid, unless agreed otherwise. For this you would have had a prior order to pay support prior to the terminating of the mother's rights. When your rights to a child is terminated it is as if the child was never yours and your rights to the child, and obligation for the child are forever terminated.
What states order child support to be paid even if the rights are signed over?
As far as I know, all of them.
Can you get back child support after the children's father has signed over his rights to them?
Termination of parental rights does not terminate child support until/unless the child is adopted. At that time, the biological parent still owes whatever he had been ordered to pay and has not paid.
Will child support stop if father signs rights over to mother and mother does not want child support from him anymore?
None of them can sign over anything. They can go to court and ask to have their rights removed and the custodial parent can ask to have the child support stopped but this means she can not get benefits before he has paid.
