Spouse stopped paying an agreed upon support amount
20 years ago I was divorced and awarded support. My husband wanted me to hault legal proceedings as it was becoming expensive and he also did not want me to go after his retirement. He made me a side financial offer of an extra 500 monthly, on top of support to let him have his retirement. I agreed and he has been paying until this month. He had failing out with our daughter who cares for me and so to punish her sent letter stating was paying only court ordered monies. Can I do anything?

Yes, you can get the court involved again since he made a deal with you outside of court last time, most likely that is one advantage you have in this situation. So please contact an experienced attorney that can evaluate your situation and assist you in your financial situation by going over all your options.
