What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
My question is can my soon to be Ex-Wife make me pay a different amount in Child Support that our Seperation Agreement has written in it ($1010) that she and her lawyer wrote up? I do realize that it is grossly under the VA standard but her Alimony was set at $2100 to offset it...but that ended as we had a clause of 1 year cohabitation would end this...which I have now stopped paying since 2013. She is now taking me to court to bring Child Support back to where it should be ($2300) and asking me to pay her arrears to back to Jan 2014 when Alimony stopped...and her reasoning was that because Alimony stopped she lost wages and has the right to redo the agreement...is that right? Can she redo the Sepeartion agreement without me signing off? I tried to redo Alimony before the end of 2013 making alimony go away and bringing Child Support up to $1800...she said no and my addendum died there...isn't it the same for her? I've been struggling financially because of the current Seperation Agreement and thought I had some breathing room and with my youngest going into kindergarten this Sept Child Support should drop to $1700-$1800 where I tried to get it to over a year ago...sorry if I'm rambling or if this jumps around too much...just confused...please help or any advise would be appreciated
