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. While the support is for the child, the mother is the custodial parent, and she's the one who is supposedly in charge of him, which includes his finances.

No. The court ordered you to pay Child Support "to" the Mother, not the child. Any payments that do not go through the Bureau can be considered "gifts" and not be credited to you.

Child support is paid to custodial parent for noncustodial parents share of support for minor. It does "not" go to child. any monies you send child will be considered a gift and not support therefore you will be in violation of support order if you send payment directly to child

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