Can a high school student who has left home get maintenance paid directly from the non-custodial parent?

Yes!  Tel Aviv Family Court ordered a father to pay maintenance for his seventeen year old daughter directly to her and not to her mother,who had custody. The daughter child claimed  her mother’s behaviour had driven her out of the house and she had rented an apartment out of town with her boyfriend, working in the evenings to support herself , and travelling from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv to study every day. Her mother, she claimed, did not give her maintenance paid by the father. As well as ordering direct payment of maintenance to his daughter, the court ordered the father to pay part of her  rent.
