My dad pays child support to my mom and still buys for me out of his own pocket. There's always confusion because my dad says "That money that I send down there every month is for you! It's not supposed to be spent on bills!" then my mom says, "Child support is for support of the child whether that be paying the light bill or buying food." I understand where they're both coming from but what can I do about it. Maybe if they want to go back to court then they should take me with them and let the judge hear my side of the story. I personally think that I should get at least half of the child support money every month. I know she needs help but I have needs to. Some of my clothes are from three years ago but I haven't gotten much bigger so they still fit but the point is she's tired of me asking her for money and he's tired of paying child support and then buying me clothes a week later. I say hear me out and let the judge decide. Luckily I'm 14 and in four more years I'll be gone and all this confusion will be over.
