Question: I'm 19 parents are divorced, dad has been supporting me, wondering if the child support could come directly to me instead of my mother I never see any of the child support, if not can I sue my mother for the child support, since a lot of the time I'm at my boyfriends apt, staying there, my mother says that he should be supporting me since I stay over there, she is money hungry, she is also supposed to be paying on school loans, she's not. What can I do?

Answer: Typically child support payments end when a child turns 18 years old, there are exceptions to this and they would be specified in your parents original divorce decree. It is also not necessary for a parent to support their non minor child in anyway unless there are extenuating circumstances. Please see an attorney to help you with your specific situation.
