I agreed to pay her the lump sum we agreed on at that time. However, she decided not to sign anything over until we sign the dissolution papers.
Now we are stuck. Right now we are both buying stuff for the boys here and there just to get through. However s13 needed dress clothes for the basketball team and then s10 out grew his basketball shoes. I bought the shoes she bought the rest. It was within 50 cents of being exactly equal.

Question now : She has asked me to pay back support for the past few months. I have no problem supporting my kids. However, I am not including the amount added in for clothing since I have spent the same amount on them she has.
Is that reasonable?


You and I cross-posted. I didn't see this which explains a lot.

Sounds reasonable. Just keep good records.

What's the holdup on the dissolution papers?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
