It depends on whether or not there is a court order. If you are ordered to pay support directly to her, then you must do so, but you do not have to send anything more than the ordered amount. If you want to send more, you could send that to your mother. Sometimes putting yourself on child support is the easiest way to insure that the situation stays under control. regardless of how you do it, though, make sure that you send either checks or money orders, or do deposits that can be tracked, so that she cannot say that you aren't helping.
