Continuation on the question: My son's father has never took me to court nor have i ever signed papers for my son to live with him. Everything was verbal. So nothing was ever in the courts, no support or did i give up custody of my son. My son does work p/t. I had raised my son by myself until he wanted to live with his father as his father was giving him materialistic things. So my question is what can happen. I spoke with my son and wanted him to sign and agreement with me as to the understanding, go to school we help out. Don't go school, no money. He refused to sign. My ex called and was verbally abusive on the phone. What can stem from this?

Without anywritten agreement or court order it is very hard to predict what will happen. Your ex can go to court and demand child support from you. With so many years of neither side doing nothing legally I cannot predict the outcome. I can tell you that family courts do not want parents dictating the terms of support, divorced and/or separated families are supposed to follow the guidelines not make up their own rules.
