child support question

[luckyman]

I let my x wife have custody of my daughter who is 12. We had a oral agreement she would not seek child support, is this legal? I still have legal custody of her in NY and she is living with her mother in NC.

Oral agreements are not binding. She is entitled to seek child support and a modification to the original order. You are entitled to try to enforce the original court-ordered custody.
