Texas.
When I was appointed as managing conservator of my son the court found that my ex-wife did "not have the ability or means to make periodic payments of child support". It was ordered that " no periodic payments of child support be set at this time" (1992). I never thought about going back to court to change the decree. In ten years I received a total of $ 600, although she verbally promised more than once to start some sort of regular payment. Now my son is almost 19. Could I still start some legal action against her for not helping to support my son?

I have been trying to move on for years. She is after his trust now. I wanted to see if I could use a lawsuit as a weapon to keeper cool
