In Florida payments are to made through the state. Making direct payments to your ex can be completely ignored and treated as you giving extra money while still owing the court ordered support.

The way you are wording this is really, really weird, and I'm doing a lot of this on guessing.
What you have to remember is that child support is different from a custody order. This is not saying that you have to have the kids x amount of time. This is saying that you have to pay x amount in money either to the other parent or to the court (never pay directly to the other parent if you can avoid it, and if you have to never pay in an untraceable form, such as cash).
The point is, unless the other parent is lying about the amount of time the child is spending with them vs. you, it really will not matter. The amount is the amount and you have to pay it. The idiots down at the Can't Steal Enough...I mean, child support enforcement department don't care about actual support, they care about cash. Now, having said that, if the child support order does not reflect the correct time the child spends with either parent, you should file a motion to modify the child support with the court, and input the correct amount of time the child spends with each parent. In several states, they use a shared income model, so go with that.

Well I can't say what will happen in your state, but I can tell you what will happen here where I am from.
Ok, you say that you have proof that you have been paying support all along since it was ordered. This proof can not be a word of mouth from some one else, it has to be some document of some sort, like cancel check or money order, etc.When you go to court, take your documents with you as you will have to have them to prove your case. Once you are in court, the judge will ask you about your payments on the child support and you just show him the legal documents that you have. If you are current with the support, nothing will happen, you will just continue to paying the support until the youngest child reaches the age of 18, that is what it is here. BUT if you are not paid up current and can not prove that you are....you either go to jail and pay when you get out..you don't see your child until you are paid up current...any or all of this. As far as what they will do to her, I have no clue. I would like to make a suggestion to you, from now on when you pay your support, pay it threw Child Support Division that is closest to you. That way not only do you have a record of it, but they do too.

You get to continue to pay, although i would make the rest of the payments in check and have a reciet for each one, so that no one can say you did not pay.
