It is not your son's money, it is yours to help pay for his support.

NOTE: It would be a better lesson, if you made HIM pay his own ticket!

Is it fraud to use a child's support money on someone other than that the child?

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.
