back pay on child support
I have a question for you people. My wife filed for divorce and moved
out in July. She went to Domestic Relations to seek child support. She has 2 children and I have 1. Before the hearing we reached an agreement that I would pay her $250/month. Instead of cancelling the hearing she only postponed it. Thinking she would be getting more money from going to Domestic Relations we went in December. It turned out I didn't owe her anything since she was awarded $160/month but since I was still living in our marital home with one dependent they allowed me a mortgage deviation of $160/month so it was a wash. Our house finally sold and we had closing this past March. Immediately she went back to Domestic Relations and told them the house was sold so the mortgage deviation was no longer valid. So instead of going we discussed it again and at that time I agreed to pay her $300/month. Both our lawyers filed the agreement and I thought everything was done. Now I get a letter saying I owe her back pay on the child support of $3,000. I'm assuming they're talking about all the back pay of $300/month all the way back until she moved out. First I was paying her $250/month plus when Domestic Relations did rule they awarded $0 on both parties.Does this sound right that I have to pay her backpay? |

First I was paying her $250/month plus when Domestic Relations did rule they awarded $0 on both parties.Does this sound right that I have to pay her backpay? The court order said all the way back to June of 2006. I was living in our maritial home with one dependent full time from June 2006 until March of 2007. The original court order's finding in February 2007 ordered me to pay her $160/month but gave me a $160/month credit for the house. Now that the house was sold and we agreed to the $300/month why wouldn't it start on March of 2007 and instead of going back to June 2006. It seems they threw the house deviation out all the way back to June 2006. It was like I wasn't living in the house then. One would think the original court order was valid until March when the house was sold and then the agreement between my wife and I would have taken place April 2007. I just don't understand the back pay part of the whole process. To me it feels like when my son turns old enough I should go back to Domestic Relations and get credit for all the money I've paid for his care. It seems the 10 months of credit that I was living in our house paying the mortgage and taking care of our son and paying her $250/month when the original order found I didn't have to pay anything was all just thrown away because the house sold. Makes no sense to me and my lawyer hasn't been any help... |
