My husbands ex signed off on child support and told the court that he paid all his back child support , this was about 3 years ago . ( this is what his mother and my husband told me ) now she has got her self in to some bad debts and now is saying my husband owes her back child support of $6000.00 and wants us to pay her $50. A week until she gets back on her feet . I called the 800 number to see if he had anything on file, nothing, check his credit report ,nothing and he still gets his tax check every year . His son will be 18 in a week and don't want to live with her . We pick him up every weekend and most of the time take him back home . We buy him cloths and shoes when he needs them , give him money when he ask for it and buy his school supplies for her . Last week she said she needed money to buy food for the boy that she had no food in the house ( I have heard this a lot from this child ) seems they never have food in the house for him to eat . So we went out and bought $70.00 of food for the house and gave the child $20.00 for school lunch . Mind you she calls us up at one oclock in the morning ( or should I say she had the child call ) saying give me the money or I will take you back to court for child support. Me I told her go ahead that I know a great lawyer . But my husband don't like conflick so that is why we put food in the house . Now she had the child tell us this week she wants $50.00 . The child texted me this... hey my mom wants $50 from dad but I know away he don't have to give it to her. Because she just wants it because she has to pick me up. But if you guys take me home you don't have to give it to her and I will give her some money that I make from working . Mind you I am the one that pick him up and most of the time we take him home . She only lives 35 min. away.. now she is saying she wants the money to help pay the child's court fees . The fee is only $100.00 and she hasn't ever made a payment on them , I called them this morning , told them I will pay them next week . Help she is making a lot of stress between me and my husband :o

Barring the $6000 in what she says is back support - is he current?

I would say let her take you back to court. If there is truly nothing owed - then you have nothing to worry about.

Exactly. If he is paying/has paid as directed, if your husband has proof, let her take him back to Court. If there is a need to increase/reduce child support based on changed circumstances, one or the other party will need to file.

I too say let her take him back to court. If she was in court and said he paid back all of the money then they will have a record of it and won't let her go back on her word. That being said, if he isn't current it may just not have caught up with him yet child support dosen't stop until 18 or HS graduation which ever comes later.

There is no taking back to court for child support unless your in a state that says you pay till 21 y/o. If he is turning 18 in a week and pretty soon June ( end of school ) then the child support will end so its really too late to do anything. If he is in arrears then she can take him to court for that but any change in current support is almost out of the question because of the time remaining ( if 18 y/o )
