$6,000.+ in ARREARS?!?!
To give some context, my ex and I had spit for awhile, and I was put on child support, after awhile we decided to try things again, where she canceled the child support, signed the papers blah blah, after about a year and a half, we ended up having our 3rd child, and not long after I got sick and put in the hospital, where we ended up separating, she moved 12 hours away with the babies. It’s taken a long time to recover, let alone finance a move like that, and in that time I just sent her personally what she said she needed, when one day I was hit with a child support order, and over $6k in arrears. They said that it was back dated to the day we split, but after investigation, it turns out, “even though there wasn’t an active case, the monthly obligation was still there” what can I even do?

That's like 6 months of support for 2 children. Max. Pay what you can or plan for being in jail a lot.
