^^^This is smart, when I saw what you wrote about making your own arrangements for child support it jumped right out like a red flag. At the very least you should consult with an attorney just to preempt the possibility of her turning around and suing you for back support only to see you pay all over again. I've heard of cases where guys did what you suggested, and even had all of the contributions well documented with receipts and money in the form of checks only, only to get sued retroactively anyway and lose. I guess some judges will assess it accordingly,where others will say "that's nice, but since it wasn't instituted under the directive of a court structured arrangement we're not going to recognize it."
