I already answered this question: There is no such thing under Florida law as "in kind" child support. You can't buy diapers or formula or pay tuition and count it as support. Support means money. And since someone can always go after you for two years of back support (more if a court order is in place), you should always keep all receipts for up to two years after your last payment is due. So, usually, keep all receipts until the child turns 20 or so.
