You are supposed to use it to support your children...
No, the parent/guardian gets the money and is supposed to use the money to care for the child (food, education, ect.)
Get a court order to divide it
No, the child can not. The other parent could before the child was an adult. The money goes to the parent to use for the child and not directly to the child.
The child does not receive the money, the adult responsible for the child gets the money.
yes
It is not your son's money, it is yours to help pay for his support. Unless you are restricted by court order from spending the child support money on only specified items, you may use the support money to do whatever you want with it. NOTE: It would be a better lesson, if you made HIM pay his own ticket!
Claiming a dependent is not dependent on the child support issue but rather on the amount of time the child spends with each parent.
It isn't. In general, child support is a percentage of the obligor's income. The obligee (or the State, if the child is receiving public assistance) is expected to use the money in the child's best interest.
What do you think it is for, just what is says, CHILD SUPPORT
Most state courts use a uniform schedule to assess child support. Courts do not view child support as retaliation.Most state courts use a uniform schedule to assess child support.

Each state has its own rules for the use of child support money, but one thing in common among all states is that the money is to be used for the benefit or betterment of that child. Uses that are acceptable include food, clothing, school supplies, medicine, and maintaining a safe dwelling place. Taking the money and giving it to someone else might be fraud or it might not. The non-custodial parent has just about zero say in how child support money is spent. If, however, you are paying child support and the child is still living in poverty, you need to bring that up as an issue with family court. If you know specifics of how the money is misused, you might have a chance at getting support or custody arrangements changed. You cannot stop paying your child support just because you are angry at how it is spent, but you do have the family court as a means of making sense of it all.
