Legal Question in Family Law in California
Ex wife claims that in 1987 I was to start paying 500 a month per child...now claims that I owe her 175.00 a month for 13 years....do I have to pay this money as neither of us were aware of this until she read the divorce papers recently? I have never missed paying her what I thought I owed her over the years.

You owe whatever was in the divorce order, plus interest at 10%.

There are possible defenses to the collection, however, they are difficult. You need to retain an attorney to help you straighten this out. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

I agree with Mr. McCormick. What is significant is what was in the court order, not what everyone thought.
