Was legally divorced in 1996 in New York. Did not have a job at that point, and agreed to $40 / weekly support. Ex-wife never went in for modification. Stupidly paid her cash all of this time and never got a receipt because "we wanted to keep it friendly". Child has been ill, necessetating frequent hospitalizations, with long stretches of child not living w/ custodial parent. I do have medical bills absorbed all by me, w/ no help for the ex. Of course, ex now claims I never paid a dime in support.
How screwed am I ?
 
Well possibly screwed. Unless you have cancelled checks that specifically say child support, they can be considered gifts, or you will have no proof you paid her at all.
