We got back together when Zuri was 3 and I supported her through LVN school was laided off and got unemployment for 1.5 yrs in same house fell behind and lost taxes and some of 401K to catch up.

We move from house to another and from Nov 17 to Feb 19 two weeks before grad she kicked me out cause it's in her name and the whole time I've paid the $1100 month rent and light bill also in her name.

A: It is very doubtful that you would ever get your money back. If you child for whom you are paying support, you should go to the Court that entered the child support Order and ask that it be vacated.
