If you continue to pay child support and do not try and get it reduced then you will not have to pay any lump sum. It is your money to do as you want.. Of course, you are keeping this to yourself and not telling anyone who could inform your ex, right ? If they get wind of it they can decide to petition to modify the CS and then it may be taking into account and used in the calculations...

Keep paying the CS on time and do not tell anyone about the lump sum ..
