Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

divorce agreement

In my divorce decree I agreed to give my ex-husband $20,000 four years from the date of our divorce (5/2003). Verbally he agreed, in front of witnesses, that he would continue to pay child support for our children until they were 21 as long as they were living with me and going to college. The amount that he agreed to pay was half of the original support, which would be $300 per month per child. We met in August, 2007 to discuss his demand for the $20,000, which he waived (no witnesses) because he agreed that he had not held up his end of the bargain (no child support after age 18 was provided) and therefore it would be unfair for me to have to hold up my end of the bargain because I supported our children solely after they turned 18. One child is now 21, the other is 19, both in college and both being supported by me. We ended this conversation with him saying that he wanted nothing from me. Last week I received a letter from an attorney stating that a lien was being put on my house and I had 30 days to give my ex $20,000. My question is: Do I have any recourse to this action or should I just give him the money?
