Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

Nearly 14 after my divorce, I received a Notice and Finding for child support

Nearly 14 after my divorce, I received a Notice and Finding for child support. My ex lives in Oklahoma and apparently has worked through her state offices to contact my local DA. I received a letter from the DA's Family Support Division informing me of the Notice. Here's the problem: When we divorced I maintained physical custody of our two oldest sons and she retained custody of our youngest. We agreed at that time that no child support would be required. Since that time, I payed child support only when one of the boys I had custody of went to stay with my ex in Oklahoma. When he turned 18, my payments ended. There is no mention of support in our divorce decree.
