Your OBLIGATION is simple... if you owe it, a mature responsible adult would pay it.

However, if that doesn't apply to you, she can't FORCE you to pay it since the SOL (Statute of Limitations) in CA is 2 years for a verbal agreement (4 years if written). If she were to file a lawsuit against you as you believe, you MUST appear at the time and date scheduled to assert your 'expired SOL' defense.
