    Child support
    Helli I'm 19 and a college student and my mom is getting back child support from my dad but she is not giving me any of the money so is there any way I can get the checks put in my name instead of hers?

    Child support is paid the one parent from the other parent. The money is not considered property of the child. I don't know the details but someone paid for your food, clothing, amusement, books, etc... that's what the back support is paying back.

    No, since it is not YOUR money it is your moms money.

    The money is to pay "back" support, so it was for a time when you lived with her, so it is to help pay her back for money she spent on food, rent, car payments that were used to help raise you at that time.

    You have no claim to the money what so ever.
