I have a question that I'm wondering if anyone has knowledge or experience of story below:
I am a California fathre and divorced in 1994. Granted 50/50 custody. Ordered to pay child support for 760.00 mo. for 2 kids. 1n 1995, ex approached me to take kids full time as she was busy with her life. We reduced child support to 200.00 mo. We created a written agreement to this effect. I did not modify the original court order as I went on good faith. Fast forward to 2003. To clean up my credit, ex signed another notarized agreement stating that I did not owe past, current or future CS. I have raised my kids alone since 1995 and they are now 22 and 18. Yesterday, May 23rd 2008, I received an “unofficial” lien on my house from the county assessor for court ordered child support. I plan to see an attorney in the next few days (long weekend). My kids have both stated un-equivalently that they would testify to the court that their mother had nothing to do with them or their upbringing for the past 13 years. Is there any precedence with this situation? Do I stand a fighting chance? I know that garnishment is right around the corner and I could be wiped out financially. Please help…I cannot sleep and am besides myself. Posted on 05/26/08, 05:05 pm |

Buddy I feel for ya!! The very first thing that I learned as soon as divorced was mentioned,was that everything needs to be handled by a lawyer and judge.Anything that I paid her that wasnt paid thru the state was considered a gift and she could lie and say that she never recieved it ,and nothing could be done.Now ,with that said,do you have the original letter that was signed by her regarding the arrangement?If so you can prsent it to a judge along with the atty,in hopes that a ruling will be made to cover your ass..I doubt that you will get any back child support from her,,but maybe it will help you out,credit wise.I know I didnt help much,,but ,I am someone that pays $2700 a month in CS for 2 children,and believe me,,anything that is changed ,is done so thru the court.Good luck ,,I wish you the best
