There is of course two sides to this issue...
But I've always felt that the child support system should be changed so that the funds a paying parent pays goes into an 'account' and the receiving parent uses a type of debit card to pay for things for the child out of that account. Only certain types of purchases would be allowed and only in certain amounts. That way the receiving parent couldn't use the funds to buy all the groceries in the house and use their own money for their own devices, etc. Then there would also be an accounting of where the money was spent available to the paying parent.
