Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My daughters father and I were never married. Split up when she was 4 1/2 years old, I never took him to court for child support. I then needed help with my bills when my daughter was 13 years old. Asked him to help with support, he said I cannot pay support and afford to live. Instead he said I can move into the spare room and give you the $400.00 that I would have to pay for rent somewhere else. Instead of having him give me the $400.00 I just had him pay the electric, cable, internet, and some groceries. After 10 months he moved his girlfriend in and I did not care but she paid me rent too. I kicked them out 4 months later. I am now seeking retroactive child support and he is claiming I am not entitled since we lived together. I found the statue that he is referencing but believe it is intended for when couple initially split up. Any advice or input would be helpful.

Go to the child support enforcement division in your area. They will help you file for support.
