Brandon, FL asked in Child Support and Family Law for Florida

Q: I have a pending child support case & I’ve been supporting my daughter since she was born 1.5 yrs ago. Should I keep

keep Sending her mother money to help support my daughter or should I wait until the court case is final. I just hate the fact that courts like to say any money sent for support of your child is considered a gift. Which I don’t think is fair. She uses my daughter as leverage to hurt me by not letting me see her on FaceTime or spend time with her alone. She want allow me to take my daughter to meet my family. We live in different cities in Florida 3hrs apart. I trucks over the road
