Greetings. The answer is yes, if you have a valid contract and you file a breach of contract claim. If the court agrees that the contract was valid and he breached it, then the court can order him to pay. Thank you.

It was not a contract but more in a letter format. It was written to my morgage company because I didn’t have court ordered child support but he was sending support on his on. He wrote the letter, had it notizied and sent to the mortage company. Is it still binding.
Greetings. It is a letter, not a contract or obligation. Therefore, no, it is not legally binding. Sorry.

Spouse signed and notizied a paper saying he would pay XXX amount of dollars for child support in 2003 through a legal office. He only paid half that amount over the last couple of years. Can he be court ordered to pay the balance due alone with / on top of newly ordered child support?
