Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
Domestic. My ex and I entered into a mediation agreement for his back child support. Part of that agreement would be that he would make arrangements w our then 18 yr old daughter still in school but not living at home. The amount we agreed upon was $4000. He never let her know he owed her anything and has never paid anything. She is in college now and aware due to me of what is owed. 21/2 years ago now. My question is when she takes him back to court can she ask for interest? And long before she was aware of court order for the $ he put down $1,200 on her car. If he never set terms w her (as our mediation agreement states) does that apply to the $4,000? Thank you, Dawn Montjar

A child--even if they are now an adult--can never be involved in a child-support court matter. The only person who can sue for enforcement of a child support order or agreement is a parent. You can certainly go back to court and ask a judge to enforce the agreement, with statutory interest. You don't necessarily need an attorney for that but it may be helpful. Best of luck!
