Divorce records are public. Go to the county Clerk's office and read through the Property Settlement; that'll show how much your father is sending to your mother.

Note that both sides might be telling the truth. Depending on where you live, housing expenses can be shockingly high, and teens -- through understandable lack of experience in the world -- usually don't have a good grasp about how expensive stuff really is.
