In California child support is paid to the parent, and can be used for whatever that parent wishes. There is no way to monitor the use of the child support. If mother does not properly care for the child then action must be taken in family court or CPS will become involved. Father can go to court and request visitation with the baby, and request that his visitation can be exercised by the paternal grandparents.
