Additional Information:
My ex and I have agreed to lowered payments and we have drawn up a new agreement which we both signed. The problem is that every time she gets angry she threatens to take me to court for back child support based on the previous amount in the divorce decree, reneging on our new signed agreement. Is what we did legally binding or can she sue me for back child support?
ATTORNEY ANSWER:
Unless your agreement is approved by the Court, it is not considered a valid Modification of the prior Court Judgment or Order. You may find that you owe the difference between what you paid in support and what the previous Court Order or Judgment required you to pay.
