Absolutely, you can pay more child support than you are court-obligated to pay. Many times this presents itself with education expenses, extra-curricular activities and additional opportunities you want to provide for your child. In most cases, it is not necessary to amend the support agreement. If you modify the child support agreement through the courts, it will now mandate that you continue the additional payments. A better option is to keep accurate and detailed records in case you need them in the future.
On the flip side, if your ex has agreed to pay child support and an additional amount above the mandated child support for a specific purpose (such as private school, for example), it may be wise to amend the court documents to reflect the new payment amount in order to secure this payment legally as long as you need it.
