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.

Actually, I just wanted to add, I do think a CP should be able to prove in
one way or another where any money goes. If my ex WAS sending his money, I
could definitely show that it went to pay for part of my daughter's braces,
that part of it went to pay for her clothes she needs or the other 'stuff'
she always seems to need. Its not a complicated task. He definitely couldn't
say the money wasn't going to her. But there in lies the problem that is
stated over and over again in here...... most NCP's are paying outrageous
amounts, while me and him set a fair amount we both agreed on. In the end it
didn't matter but that is for another time. lol
