Unfortunately, very few States support any any accounting at all of how child support
money is spent. In most cases the money may be spent on whatever the custodial
parent wants. You might be able to get a judge to order the custodial parent to provide
an accounting of how the money is spent, but it will be an uphill battle.
If the custodial
parent is ordered to provide an accounting, they may falsify the items and
expenditure amounts, and it would be difficult to prove or disprove their claims without
going to a great deal of trouble and expense.
Check your State Statutes to
see if your state is one of the few that has any provision regarding accounting for child
support expenditures.
