What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana
My ex-wife and I have a 12 yr old son. We live in seperate states and for the past 8 yrs have had an oral agreement concerning visitation and child support. Last year she became angry with me and refused to let me have any contact with him beyond letters. I quit sending her the money we had agreed upon. She contacted me this week (via e-mail) saying she would be willing to let me start seeing him again, if I agreed to start sending her money again.
Neither my ex or myself can afford lawyers or an extensive legal battle. Is it ok to continue working through an "oral" agreement? If we do come to an agreement, is it "legally" ok for me to stop sending her money if she refuses, again, to let me see my son?
