You have no choice in how child support is spent (assuming you are the one paying the support).What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
Does child support cover a cell phone for a minor child?
You said pay for it on your own and instead he asks Dad? While it was crappy of Dad to say CS should cover it, you and Dad need to get on the same page and give Jr. the same answer. I've seen how the wants and nagging of teenagers pit Mom against Dad, even in intact families!Reason I am asking I am receiving child support for my 16 year old. He has a job and I told him if he wants one he needs to pay for it. His father said that is part of the child support.
Good job Mom!! It's not enough to just "want" but is important to earn!!Reason I am asking I am receiving child support for my 16 year old. He has a job and I told him if he wants one he needs to pay for it.
Bad idea. Those things end up being more expensive than a regular cell phone plan.LOL Or buy kiddo a (prepaid) TracFone.
