As a CP myself, I would have no problem with showing that the child support is indeed spent on the child. My child's biggest problem, as stated by many others, is her father doesn't believe in paying CS nor does he ever pay for things on his own. He is currently court ordered to pay $900/month child support. The last time he paid anything was a month ago, $50. The time before that, it was $25, paid a year ago. However, to address the ??, if he were paying the $900/month, I would have no problem showing documentation as well as receipts to show how the money is spent. I believe that when considering monthly costs, NCP's need to understand that it isn't always the same amount every month. If the CP knows that a big expense is coming up for the child in the near future, the CP could put some of the CS aside every month in anticipation of that expense(such s summer camps which are generally much higher than afterschool care throughout the school year).
