Child Support, Arrears, breach of contract, extortion, fraud: My child is 18 years old. He lives with his mother and is working and going to school. I owe arrears and made a contract in writing for another amount and basically lower the amount due. I made payments to her. She was to notify the DA to close the case. I do not know if she did or didin't but they closed it. Then a few months later the DA reopened it.

Can I sue here is Civil court for breach of contract and seek damages for the breach and extortion? Extortion and fraud, because the DA told me she said, she did not receive money from me and never agreed to any thing. I have all the proof. deposited checks she signed, copy of the contract etc.

The DA says, that they have no jursidiction over a separate agreement betweetn me and the mother. They would only close the case if she asked them too after they varify it is her.

The DA says, they will not sue her for any misconduct, since they have no jusisdiction, they only are collecting child support. They said they can open, then reopen a case for child support as many times as they want.

Thanks.

Tom
