More details to this question:
Husband is filing an uncontested divorce and we have agreed to a child support figure and added it to the paperwork, can he just stop payment on his own at any time after everything has been sign, processed and filed by judge?
1 ANSWER
No. If you have agreed to a certain amount which he will pay in child support and the court accepts that agreement and makes it an order of the court, that order will be a judgment. At that point the judgment will be binding upon your husband and he will be obligated to pay. If he were to cease payment, he could be found to be in civil contempt and be made to pay the back owed child support, as well as the costs of bringing him to court to enforce the judgment. As well, if the violation of the order is sever enough, the judge at their discression may place him in jail for the contempt.
