She is still attending high school. She decided to drop out of public school and go to an alternative school. My court order is done and I don't owe any back pay. Now her mother is taking me back to court.

Your court order may be done, bu the law says you are obligated to pay child support until the child completes high school or reaches 19 years of age. After that you could be ordered to pay non-minor educational expenses. So do not assume you are done, until a judge tells you you are done.
