They're yanking your chain. Only the Department of Child Support Services has authority to settle child support arrearages.
Well, actually, they're not yanking your chain. Now that the children are over 18 and child support services is merely collecting arrearages, there is the possibility that you could settle the case with your wife for a smaller amount, and then she would have to close the case with child support services. Get everything in writing!
