child care payments
I am the non-custodial parent of two children who live in Florida. I am ordered to pay child support $232 for my children. I have been sending the custodial parent the money directly. She has not been cashing the checks. I wanted to know is it legal to pay the daycare program my children attend directly instead of sending her the money?

You should follow the dictates of the court order. Whatever it says is what you should do. If your ex wife chooses not to cash the checks you send her, that is her decision. You should send by certify mail to prove delivery, however, in case she later denies receiving the checks.
