How best to formalize a child support agreement?
I have joint custody of my 2 daughters, 16 and 13. They both live with me and my husband. I’m a stay at home mom with a 2 year old. If the girls do decide to live with him. I will then give him the child support monies that I do get from my ex. Do I have to then pay child support to him? He says that he can’t take me back to court because he has no money. If we settle out of court, will I still need a lawyer to procect myself or a notary public is okay?
