As long as the court order states the support is to be paid to him... you most likely would not have much luck... SRDEsq can elaborate a bit more, but that is not money for you directly but for your care... Does your father pay your health insurance? Car insurance? Feed you?
If you do not live with your father, whomever you live with will need to petition for support to come to them... The order would have to direct it to be paid to them..
Child support is not meant to be money handed to the child... but to aid in raising them.. If it is arrears being paid as well, that is for the time he did take care of you. Why would you mother not file for custody? OR petition the court herself if she knows you are not living there?
