Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My wife and I are divorced and have been for just over a year and a half. We have joint custody and I do pay child support, through the state. My ex-wife deployed to Iraq and I took on full custody of my children during her deployment. The only thing that she does is reverse my money I'm giving her for child support back into my account and then only gives me an additional $150. She is due back from the deployment within a week, was there anything I could have done to get her to give me more money while she was gone? And, Is there anything I can do to still get any money from her? Any help would be greatly appreciated as the last year has been extremely hard financially.

I assume that none of these arrangements involved any court action, or orders of modification.

The short answer to your question is: No, you can't go back and do anything retroactively.
