does ex wife still owe back child support

I have had primary physical custody of my two children for ten years. My daughter who is fifteen wants to live with her mother because she got in trouble and got restricted at my house.The state of Tennessee has change the wording since divorce, if I sign a parenting plan allowing my ex-wife to be primary residential parent does it over ride original court order for child support. mother owes around 27000 in back child support.the parenting plan has me paying 98.00 per month.I have been married for almost 10 years my current wife and I have a son who is 5 and our other son from my previous marriage. My ex wife filed a modifcation of original divorce decree.I spoken with several lawyers they have all said it is costly to fight and I have three children who have to go to college, She is fifteen and she has a choice and the judge will more than likely let her go any way .Do I sign the parenting plan order and then get back child support owed to our children .

Make the mother do everything....you should not sign anything. You do not have to do anything until the judge tells you otherwise. Just show up to court when you are told to and do what you are told. Make her work for it. It is not as easy as your daughter changing her mind. There still has to be a gal involved...Costly .... $10,000.00+. If she owes you back support that looks really bad. She will owe you the money even if you give her to her. Though they won't attempt to collect..it will pretty much go dead and you will owe. Good luck. Don't sign anything.
