Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

My ex and I went through a lawyer 4 years ago for custody and child support, from that time I have had my child full time. I was young and did not understand what was said on our paperwork. After a year and a half of my child's mother not being apart of her life she is coming to me telling me I have to pay her back child support. I re-read our agreement and it states I am suppose to pay her X amount of dollars. Also inside the paperwork it says we choose to not go through friend of the court and we will make arrangements among ourselves. Since I have had my child full time. Can she still come back to me for back child support. She only want to be apart of my daughters life for the money. I am seeking out a lawyer on Monday.

She can seek back support however, since she opted out of the friend of the court it will be difficult for her to account for what was or was not paid. I routinely handle support matters contact me to discuss.
