I think it would have to start from the second separation, since you moved in together and lived together for over a year afterwards. I’m not an attorney but I would think that reconciling would made that agreement void and you did support the the child during that time, by providing food, shelter, etc… ---

What does your separation agreement state regarding reconciliation? The provisions regarding child support are terminated when you reconcile. Helena M.

Question: Previously my wife and I signed a separation agreement. We lived seperate for over a year, we then signed a court order cancelling child support and moved back in together. We continued to live that way for over a year. Since then we have lived seperate for over 4 months, now she says that the original separation agreement is still in force and that she has custody of the child and that I will have to pay all back child support. Is that correct being that we began living together as husband and wife for over a year?
