My ex-wife and I were awarded joint custody with her maintaining residential support. After a year, we knew our daughter would eventually choose to live with me. I thought my ex and I had a mutual agreement that I wouldn't pay anymore child support nor ask for any when the daughter came to live with me. We did not go to court to change any documentation. Eventually the daughter(after 6 years) came to live with me. After I remarried (12 years post divorce) my ex became enraged and sued me for back support which she has received. Has anyone ever successfully gone back and sued their ex for support that was not in the divorce decree? The child lived with me for over 4 years. Because we did not get our original decree amended, do I have any legal recourse for getting child support in this matter?
