Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My wife is owed 13,000 in back child support. The father in question took her to court to gain full custody and lost. She has not collected on the past due amount and any subsequent payments ceased at the time of disposition 2 years ago. For some reason she will not try and collect and wants to wait until the child turns 18 in 2 years. If this happens and he counter-files the amount he would be awarded would negate what she is owed. Is this correct and what would be the appropriate action on her part in making the first move in motioning the court. In addition, would my income be brought to question? We were married 2 years ago after she had lost primary custody. She has not seen or communicated with the child since then, and has not sought visitation which must be supervised. The case was settled in Hernando county. Thank you.

Who has custody? First you say he took her to court and lost then you say she has not seen the child as she lost custody.
