Audit and Amend Child Support Enforcement

To the Honorable Seats of Representation,
I am a single mom of two boys. I raised my boys on my own, without the help of child support. I do agree to child support within reason. I will not go into my story, as it is too long to type and is personal, but, child support needs to be improvised on many levels. I am currently in the process of proposing an amendment for this topic and concerning issue. A quick observation of this would be:
The Food and Nutrition program is restricted and dictated as to what can be bought, I feel that child support should also be restricted with certain stipulations. Using the funds ordered by a court to the support of the child or even to save in a bank account for the child is a plus, but if they funds are used to purchase a tattoo, alcohol, personal items for the custodial parent should be restricted and modified. It can be done. Social Security has restrictions, as well as the Department of Health and Human Services for Food and Nutritional Aid, the WIC program, WorkFirst Program, among several others to list. Child Support is costly to all states, and this is not just one particular state issue, this is a huge issue for all states. Children are the ones who have to pay for any issues between parents. If a custodial parent is court ordered to render visitation, but purposely, or with any intent, violates any visitation order for the other parent, a modification should be introduced. I know amendments and restrictions can be conducted. It will take time and many discussions between government officials, but it can be made possible. Child Support is already deposited onto prepay or debit cards, therefore, modifications and restrictions can also be conducted and introduced. Please consider this suggestion. Child support is the one thing many parents depend on, but also many parents abuse this and the child pays for the good and any bad.
This will be a lengthy process, but one I feel should be addressed.
