Child support and seperation agreement

When my wife and I seperated she initially took the kids (two boys) and kept the house, car, etc. I started paying her what amounted to 60% of my gross pay, and began to learn how to live without my family. A couple of months later she told me that she didn't want the kids or the house and she gave me a seperation agreement that she and her attorney drew up. She wanted me to pay her instead of her paying me for child support. I initially balked at signing this agreement, but eventually gave in as it was clear that she absolutely did not want the boys any more - and I did.

The agreement has a portion that states that if I am ever granted child support, that the money I pay my ex-wife each month will be increased to cover the exact amount of the child support payments that she would have to pay ME.

My question: Is this a legal agreement that would hold up in court? It seems to be a blatant attempt to circumvent any court order that may be given.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Just noticed that I forgot to include my state. I live in NC. Sorry.

Is this the right place to ask this question?

HELP! Does anybody have an answer for this question? Please give me some advice!

I am afraid that those of us left hanging on haven't the expertise to help you. However, I must agree that this agreement does not seem on the up and up. I would definitely consult with an attorney. I know you may feel that it is too expensive, but taking into consideration the money you could be losing out on, it seems worth it!

Was this agreement filed in court? How long have the boys been in your physical custody? How often has she seen the children since you got them? These things will affect what you should do at this point.
