If a check was made out to to child usually the custodial parent will set up an account in the child's name with the parent administering the account. The non-custodial parent should have no rights to cash the check (since it would appear that person would not be receiving child support), so perhaps the parents of the PCP could see if there is still time to put a stop payment on the check or contest the bank's permitting the NCP cashing it. Of course, depending upon the amount of the check it may not be worth fighting it out with the bank.
