What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I'm in Texas.
When my ex and I divorced, we decided that instead of paying cash for child support, that I would pay for the mortgage on the house. We never officially told anyone and the AG never contacted me about not paying child support through their office. There was never any problem, I made all of the mortgage payments on time, the AG (I'm guessing) never got the necessary paperwork, and so I never had to arrange this with their office.
Fast forward to this past Monday. I went to visit a lawyer about some other matters regarding the decree and she asked me why the AG never sent me notice about not paying child support. I told her the whole story and she said that I should write up an affidavit that says that the entire time I had been paying child support and that it was mutually agreed upon and all of that.
My only question is: what sort of specific language do I need in this document to cover my bases? My ex will gladly sign, there's no animosity... This is just a protective measure for me. I tried searching for a form or template on the AG's site, but I don't speak Latin so I have no idea whether there's anything there or not.
Thanks in advance!
