What is the name of your state? TN
I would like to know if my ex-wife has a case. In October of 1991, my ex and I divorced. We agreed she would keep all assets instead of me paying child support; however, she went to court with an attorney and got child support and all the assets. (I did not go to court) When I talked to her about this she said it was what her attorney told her to do and she wasn't going to make me pay any child support.
She has brought up child support 3 times in the last 17 years. She only brings this up when she gets mad about something and then drops it an apologizes. Well, the third time she brought this up was in April 2008 and I want this resolved! Our son died in August 2005. The child support awarded her was $400 per month. She had primary custody but my son lived with me 5 of the 11 years he was a minor. I helped her with bills when she needed help and, of course, we split the cost of our son's funeral.
I know I will have to get an attorney (which I didn't want to do but I want this to end). What advise do you have in this case? Will it matter that we had an agreement and that she told me I didn't have to pay the child support? Will it matter that my son lived with me all those years? Can I sue her for half our assets at the time of the divorce? (Or at least half the house's value?) Thank you in advance...
