Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I was helping my friend by giving her money to pay a lawyer to get child support out of her kids father. Her kids father was a drug dealer and does not show income so he always claims to the courts that he is broke with no Job. Although she got a good lawyer that had a forensic accountant who can prove the father of her kid makes a lot of money. Now she will pay me back a certain percentage of every child support check. This will end up to equal more than what the lawyers costs. I am afraid because I took the money that the courts will try to prove that now I am profiting from drug money because in reality the father is a drug dealer and that is where the money will come from. Can I get into trouble for this?

I would need more information to answer this question because it all depends on exactly what you ACTUALLY knew not suspected. This is not a matter that should be discussed on this forum and you really should talk to an attorney in person to give more in depth details. That way your conversations are protected by attorney client privilege.
