How to make sure your child support goes to your child?
My ex is smoker. She lives with her parents who are both pot heads. They all smoke cigarettes and none of them work. One big happy welfare family. I can't help but think my child support isn't going to my child. They are the type of people who smoke 3 packs a day and feed their kids mac n cheese.
Is there anything I can do to make sure they are using that money on my kid and not their own habits?

Not really. It is hers to do what she wants. You could try and get custody if you feel there is something illegal going on in the house.
I don't have children myself yet, but I'm discusted by people who complain about having to pay child support. Can you really put a price on raising children? I'm sure the law didn't just say 'lets pick a $ amount out of a hat and go with that'.... Any parent who loves their children should make it their duty to be respectful of the parent who has custody, if only for the children's sake! Money is only money - Your children are your life! Being angry at the other parent, someone you once loved enough to bear children with, is SO incredibly selfish and juvenile.... Complaining about having to pay child support to the person who is raising your children is discusting. Would you not give everything you have for the happiness of your children? It's very difficult I'm sure for the parent who wants custody but loses custody to the other parent, but you only have yourselves to blame for not being adult enough to get past your own issues and think about what is best for your children - By working out a joint-custody arrangement with the other parent. I have put off having children until now (I'm 31) because this is such a huge thing as far as I'm concerned, bringing children in to this world. And I want to make dead certain I am doing it with the right person, who I know will be a good partner and father no matter what happens.
No, there isn't. But if you can prove the lot of them are nothing but pot heads there's a very good chance you can get a change of custody.
It's practically impossible.
However, how would you feel about getting full custody?
I may be able to offer you a great strategy to do that.
Pursue sole or primary custody. Sounds like, with the dope situation, it shouldn't be too hard to achieve.
Nothing you can do. They spend the money how they want. That is all there is to it.
