Ex asked me to waive his current support arrears balance since our 17 year old currently lives with him.
Post Body

Ex just asked me to waive his current child support arrears balance, a little over six thousand dollars, because our 17 year old daughter has been living with him since October `17.

This guy is not a nice person. In '12 he volunteered child support payments for our daughter since he was already making payments for his son with his ex-wife. I didn't pursue child support prior to that because I didn't pay any when she lived with him for 4 years. Also, we lived a comfortable enough life with mine and my late husband's income.

When the family court judge ordered him to pay eleven hundred dollars a month for both kids, he quickly back peddled and said he couldn't afford it. Asked me to modify the amount ordered by half. At the time he was making almost 90 thousand dollars a year. Also asked me to waive the arrears that was assessed by the local (Guam) Attorney General's office for the years he didn't pay a dime.

I agreed to waive the arrears balance and requested the monthly support amount to be reduced to 600 a month. He wasn't happy with the 600. He wanted to pay 400 for my daughter while his son was receiving the 11 hundred. I figured civility was worth the arrears. I didn't agree to the 400 he wanted because it just seemed so unfair to my daughter.

Flash forward to 2018: my daughter moved back home to Guam, I live in Vegas. She's been struggling with the death of her step-father, and wanted to graduate back home.

Her father owes a considerable chunk of change because he's missed so many payments over the years. Today he asked me if I would consider waiving what he currently owes since she lives with him again.

I'm want to tell him no. And to sue me for child support if he wants to. I make considerably less money than he does. I understand that if I make child support payments it's income based. Up to 18‰ of my gross pay, if I'm not mistaken. My daughter turns 18 in September. Help, please.

Edit: grammar. Is 130am. Am tired, pissed off and mostly hurt.
