    Default Child Support Arrearage and Remarriage

    I reside in the State of Florida. I am questioning a judge's decision and whether to appeal this. I divorced in 1992 and a court order was issued
    for the husband to pay child support of $30.00 per week. We started living together a year later, but did not remarry till 1998 and then ended up
    divorcing again in 2001. The 2nd divorce has no amendments to the 1st regarding child support, as he waited till our son was 18 years old and filed a
    simple divorce with no children involved. The original divorce states that any money given to the wife outside of the court does not account for support through the courts.
    We went to court for the arrearages of 15,950.00, his attorney filed a motion to cancel all arrearages and satisfy the judgement. I responded by dening it with additional facts from the original judgement. The judge would not listen to anything I had to say nor read my response. He told me that since we lived together and put our money together that the order was void especially since we remarried. We did not remarry till 1998. The Ex-husband had also
    received a Workers Comp Settlement and the Dept of Revenue never caught it with the order still in effect.
    I feel like this judge was coerced by the Ex's attorney or he had been burned hisself.
    Any comments?

    I'm not the slightest bit surprised by the judge's decision. You were living together and sharing expenses in all years but one, and you did nothing to try to claim or collect support even before you remarried.
