Q. The Judge ordered me to pay child support then I lost my job. My ex and I verbally agreed to lower my child support until I went back to work. Is the verbal agreement enforcable?
A. No it is not. If there is something in writing between you and your ex (signed by both of you) you are probably ok. But, it is more protective to go back to Court to lower the support. If you do not have something in wrting or a modified Court Order, then you will be accuring a child support arrearage.
