Re: Can ex wife stop child support payments

The safest for you is to have the agreement reduced to writing and submitted to the court for approval. I have had cases where the parties have agreed to a change in payments and later the spouse gets mad and goes to court to collect the original amount. Since there was no court approval of the change/reduction the local judges award full back payments.
