OP's always become abusive when they do not receive the reply they want. Be more specific if you want a back rub with TLC. It's not often, if ever, I agree with Mamjet, but this time I think he has a point (or she, I don't know)
As for who the money goes to - you pay support for everything your child needs and that includes a roof over their head, which of course the resident parent pays for, food, clothes, school clothes, toys, books, loo roll, washing machines, cookers - the list is endless. Support goes into the household pot and does not become the childs money because that child lives within that household who all use the pot.
It infuriates the hell out of me when the absent parent comes on here spouting off about the resident parent spending 'their child's' money. It doesn't matter what it is spent on (well drink, drugs etc is not on of course) as the resident parent gets to choose, and as long as the child is fed, clothed and well looked after then this information is irrelevant to the absent parent as it is none of their business.
The EMA you are talking about, and it may not be the full �30 is to buy school books and uniform alongside other school stuff and is NOT to be included in the household income. The child will not be expected to pay for food, clothing, rent etc out of the EMA.
If I were you, to retain any good relationship with your child and it's mother, you should continue to pay support until s/he leaves education as any good father would do. If that child were living under your roof, you would be paying, so why stop now just because of that magical number 16?
