Check with a tax attorney. Usually "gifts" of money to other family members can be up to $12,000 per year per person and the person receiving the "gift" does not have to declare it as income on their tax returns. Minors may be a different story. Either way, there is no tax benefit to you. So why would you want to call it a gift? You probably aren't paying as much as your kids need as it is. ==A Different Perspective== Generally yes. At some later date you cannot stop paying your weekly support and bring out your list of all the times you have voluntarily included a "little extra" with the child support payment. If you can afford it then you are doing the right thing.
