Hi. I am new to this site and it contains a LOT of great information. However I have failed to find an answer to this sotuation.
My ex and I are in the process of sending offers back and forth to settle the custody of our child. We attended a CC and the only thing that was settled was an order for CS.
She now says in her offer that if I give up my rightful claim to shared-parenting and settle for a less frequent access schedule that she will sign, and make part of our agreement that she will not ask for child-support. Can she do this? Would a judge allow this?
The FRO has probably already been notified to start garnishing my wages so I assume for this to happen we would we have to sign and agreement to remove them from the process. I personally think she's trying to pull a a fast one but my opinion may be jaded.
I don't mind paying CS at all but I think that the non-cutodial parent should be credited for the time that they have their child and not have to get 40% of access time (never happens) to be able to get credit in support payments. I beleive she is saying this to "sweeten the deal" so I will agree and then she will just apply for support at a later time.
If she signs an agreement (and it's made an Order) to forgo support can she revoke it later? BTW she makes 25% more annually than I do. She has a history of not living up to her word (lying) and false allegations to further her agenda so it doesn't bode well that she is being genuine. Am I being hoodwinked?
Any words of wisdom or advice would be apperciated.
