I'm a little unclear if there was a CS order after the divorce was final or just between 1997 and 2002. If there was no order after 2002 and you gave her money you are SOL. It is considered a gift and child support enforcement will not consider it child support. She is completely within her rights to go for back child support and you are going to have to pay it. I'm sorry, I know it's not ethical but it's legal.

Unless you have proof ( financial statements, or carbon copies of checks, or even bank statements that date back to every payment you have made to her) you really have no way of proving you have paid her all that money. Lesson learned in a divorce, people really need to start keeping financial records for everything, sometimes things do come back and bite ya in the a$$. Good luck.

You will need to file a motion in the court in where the order was originally issued. If you do not live there, do not file it in another court, you need to use the court which has jurisdiction. This is the only way to get this corrected.

You will need some kind of documentation. Receipts or canceled checks. They will not just take your word for it. If you paid her cash with no receipts you dont have a prayer. Sorry.

You should be able to go to your bank and get copies of your cancelled checks. If you gave her cash you are SOL.
