“"Claims of arrearage of ordered child support may be allowed off-set by credit for amounts expended by the obligated parent when such parent actually furnishes support for a child while in his *Page 802 custody or the custody of another. Keller v. Keller , 370 So.2d 306 (Ala.Civ.App.), cert. denied , 370 So.2d 308 (Ala. 1979); Nabors v. Nabors , 354 So.2d 277 (Ala.Civ.App. 1978). "It would not have been error if the trial court had credited the $100 per month withheld by the father from the ordered amount of child support from October 1978 until February 1, 1980, if there was evidence that he had actually supported the child in that amount or more. However, there is no testimony that the father supported her in any amount during such time. The fact that she resided with him is insufficient. She may have been self-supporting."”
