Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

arrearage
I was divorced in 1991 and payed my ex cash every week for child support for many years.About 4 years ago she took me to court saying I never paid her and owed her for all those years.I did not have any paperwork to prove that I paid so I was ordered to pay all this money again and pay through the state(which I do and will have to continue to do for the next four years)It's my own fault for not getting receipts so I except it and pay.I always pay what is owed each month through the state but when I give her money for college,doctor bills,etc for the kids(who are over 18 now)I get her to write a receipt or write a check.My question is can I deduct money I have given her for college,etc(which I am not court ordered to do since the kids are now over 18) from the arrearage?I would rather just give money to my kids directly for whatever they need.

Re: arrearage

That's a question you will have to ask the judge. It would be up to the court, since there is nothing definite which guarantees you that result.
