The money is intended to help the custodial parent defray the costs of raising the child and providing a home so it is given to the parent.
Child support can be used to help with rent, mortgage, college expenses, insurance, utilities, food, phone, internet, computers, medical care, clothing, education expenses, recreation expenses, after school program expenses, school supplies, haircuts, shoes, holiday gifts for the child, babysitters, spending money for the child, vacations, etc.
It goes to the custodial parent to pay for the care of the child. It is technically assigned to the parent and the parent is to use at their own discretion for the benefit of the child. It does not go directly to the child even if that child is over 18 and it is back child support being paid.
