My ex-wife and I were married in Illinois. When we split I moved away for work opportunities and I filed for divorce in Oklahoma. She signed the papers and returned them. There was a specific dollar amount spelled out for the support of our one child in the divorce papers. I now live in Texas & over the years I have adjusted that amount in our divorce papers (without any courts involvement), to meet the 20% rule without her ever having taken me to court. She has now threatened to take me to court and I need to know first of all where I would have to appear (what state), and if it turns out I have erred in my calculations of how much I provide her in child support can I be held to a back support amount even though I provide her far more than the dollar amount in the divorce papers that she agreed to and never has taken me to court for increase on.
