My main issue is you have no control what it's spent on. I'd feel a lot better about child support if it was itemized like a business expense. I don't feel like anyone should have to cut someone a check for a child that they instead spend on cigarettes.
Obviously, there are issues where some women spend child support on selfish things. It would be extremely difficult to itemize. How do you differentiate "her money" from "child support" once it's in her bank account? The child needs a place to live; child support goes toward that. Same for many shared expenses like food, gas, electricity, etc. It'd be a nightmare to try to restrict or itemize this stuff.
You don't. You get receipts for what she purchases and it needs to be within a small margin be spent on stuff for the child. Like how businesses do expense accounts. ---
