Have you checked on the online calculator what you should be paying? Also never pay by cash, leave a paper trail and always mark it as child maintenance, and get your ex to sign it with a witness signature. Might be worth coming to an agreement with your ex a reasonable amount plus any gifts etc should be bought as of choice as technically any child support payments should cover this.
