So if you receive support you can never buy a lottery ticket or
take
a
drink?


Child support should not be used for anything other than for
supporting
the
child.

So I use the child support to support the children, and buy my lottery
ticket
with my own money.

Now........... how can you tell which dollar was which? They all look
the same.

The dollar spent on the child will come with a receipt.

But then comes into play that you can show a receipt for a food bill but
can't say for sure who eats the food. You can buy clothes, show a receipt
but not now for sure who the clothes were bought for. I know for
infants/toddlers it may state on the receipt that the clothes were of
that
general size but what about when your kid gets older? My daughter wears
about the same size clothes as me. There is a way around everything....
just
as business people know how to get around the IRS and claim stuff that
shouldn't be claimed.

Soooooo....what you're saying is that because some people cheat on their
taxes,
CPs should not be subject to accounting for CS? :-)

Look, this is not difficult. I'm not proposing that necessities be
accounted
for. Food, clothing, shelter would be allotted at a fixed rate for the
jurisdiction (as is done for foster kids). The extras should be accounted
for
(lifestyle). If the CP is going to claim the child is taking riding and
dance
lessons, the receipts for those payments should be in the box. If the
child
gives up dance and takes up drums, the receipts should be in the box. If
the
child's clothing desires are in excess of the base allotment, the receipts
go in
the box. There must be a standard of what expenses are anticipated for the
child. It happens in virtually every other area of financial management.

I agree there needs to be accountability like you. But that is something
that will end up in the hands of the government (like the whole cs thing)
and surely would be just as corrupt. Shame, isn't it? I also don't think
that CS should be awarded over what is necessary so that would eliminate
accounting for the extra's.
