Can the person receiving support be compelled to produce receipts proving how the support was utilized?

No. The defendant in a support action cannot, as part of Pennsylvania support proceedings, ask to see receipts of how child or spousal support, alimony pendente lite (APL), or alimony was utilized by the plaintiff. Pennsylvania law presumes that the child or spousal support, alimony pendente lite (APL), or alimony is used to help financially provide all things the spouse and/or child needs, including a home, food, clothing and social activities.
