What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
My husband is paying child support for his 18 year old daughter, directly to the mother.
Meanwhile, his daughter has no heat in her home, no tv, no hot water and keeps asking for more money for gas and food, because her Mother says the money is gone.
She is showering, sleeping and eating at a friends house who has given her a key so she can get in .. to shower and eat etc. She is "visiting" her mother, to make sure that her Mom is ok...
What I want to know is... Does my husband have to pay the mother child support? or can the child support be paid directly to the child since she is now 18? She is not being cared for ... before she turned 18 she was eating and showering at our house due to not having running water in the house. Now, no heat?
What can be done??
Thanks so much for any help/advice you can give....
