The best way to resolve the situation that you are writing about so that your child support payments go to your son and not his mother is to file a petition with the court having jurisdiction over this issue seeking this relief. You will need to serve the petition upon the mother and the son.
In the petition you can ask for child support modification as well. I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney to assist you in this endeavor.
