Can you send a child support payment check or money order directly to the child through California CSSD?
I have a child that is 17yrs old and will turn 18 in June 2010. HE may not graduate HS and I know if he doesn't, I will have to pay until his 19th birthday. If CS is for the child, I want to know if I can send check or money order payments directly to him to cash but still have his mothers name on it also. That way, she cannot cash it with out his signature or he can cash it on his own. I plan to send all copies to California CSSD for verification and credit. can this be done legally?

No, but you can make an official request not for it to be transferred to him. Just contact child support enforcement.

No. The courtroom ordered you to pay Child Support "to" the Mother, no longer the baby. Any repayments that don't move by way of the Bureau may also be regarded "presents" and no longer be credited to you.
Then what happens when he blows it all on video games, etc? What happens then when his mother has nothing to buy him food with? It is called child "support" for a reason. That is why it is given to a parent, not a child. If he can't even graduate high school, I certainly wouldn't be handing him money to do with as he pleases expecting him to use it for his "support".
