We divorced 5 years ago, have a 12 year old. He didn't want child support then and his lawyer is pushing him to get it now bc I have gone to school and make more money. I cannot afford a lawyer and his is emailing and calling me. I don't know what is right or wrong to do.

If there has been a request to modify child support filed with the court and you have been served with the petition, then you are obligated under Rule 12.285 to provide certain financial documents. I would suggest consulting with an attorney to determine the potential financial obligation as it souds as if your financial situation has changed enough that there is a belief that you can contribute to your son's support.
