My ex became disabled and began receiving payments as did the children. I am the custodial parent and they stay with him every other weekend and one day per week.
Two months after I began receiving them I got a letter from SS stating he would be receiving the money now. He told me he called and said he would be better at having the money. He then laughed and said, "It's my money and you won't get it." I have no say in where the money goes and it is not in my home.
Social Security says they cannot discuss the money because my name is not on the payee. I was not told why the payee was changed. I do not know what I can do now. I have the day to day care and expenses of the children. What can I do now?
I also have to count the money as my income as they are in my custody as the primary parent, even though I do not have the money.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with what to do now.

Do you have a court ordered child support agreement. If not get one. You can go to your local Child Support Enforcemnt Office. This should have been determined a long time ago. Actually what you were receiving before your "ex" had it changed should have been considered the same as garnished child support, from his disability checks.
Call Social Services and have them set up child support payments.
