My brother and I just found out that our mom has been getting back pay from child support and is also getting a monthly stipend as well. The issue is that we’re 23 & 24 and we don’t live with her either. What can we do to receive that money directly?

 In your situation, it's important to understand that child support payments are typically intended for the financial well-being of the child during their formative years. As you and your brother are now 23 and 24 years old and no longer living with your mom, the legal obligation for child support likely no longer applies. Child support arrangements are generally established to provide financial assistance to the custodial parent while raising dependent children.

Given that you are adults and independent of your mother, it's improbable that you would be entitled to receive the child support directly. The legal framework surrounding child support is designed to ensure that the funds contribute to the welfare of the child, and once they reach the age of legal adulthood, this financial support is generally considered fulfilled.

If there are concerns or uncertainties about the situation, it's advisable to consult with a legal professional who can provide guidance specific to your circumstances. They can offer insights into any potential legal avenues or clarify any lingering questions you may have about the child support arrangement and its applicability in your current situation.
