I am the mother of a 15 year old boy with autism. I cannot keep him at home anymore and he is going to a residential facility in October. The full cost of the placement is covered by New York State. The question I have is whether I will be able to continue to collect child support from his father. Currently we have joint legal custody and I have sole physical custody. I have been caring full time for our disabled son and have no means of supporting myself. Can I keep the child support because I have to keep a home where my son can visit me on weekends, etc? Please help.
