child support that's garnished

If your child decides to go live with their other parent and you are receiving child support that is garnished and sent through the courts, are you obligated to give that parent that child support before a court order is issued to change it, especially when the parent that had custody has alot of debt because of that childs extra activities?

????? Can anyone answer the question about garnished child support????

My response:

While the "right" thing to do would be to give the money to the parent that has the child, the "legal" thing to do is to keep the money until such time as the orders are changed - - and that would be the responsibility of the obligor parent (the one who's paycheck is being garnished).

But, let's be fair about this matter. Remember, after the expenses are paid that you talk about, and you keep the money all because the orders haven't changed, just remember what goes around comes around. In other words, a judge will not look favorably upon what you're doing. But, it's up to you - - just remember that someday, a judge will be looking at what you're doing today.
