circumstances had effected Jeffrey which impacted his ability to make the full child support
payments set forth in Section III of the Agreement;

WHEREAS, Jeffrey understood and believed that the parties had modified the
Agreement to provide for the reduced payment and, as a result, did not formally pursue a
modification through the Domestic Relations Office;
WHEREAS, Kristen believed that she had reserved a claim for past payments
and, on or about June 9, 2010, through her attorney, raised a demand in the amount of
$7,200.00 for back payments;
WHEREAS, the parties' son is emancipated and child support is only due for
the parties' daughter;
WHEREAS, in order to avoid protracted litigation for past claims and

3) Release of Past Claims: In consideration of Jeffrey's agreement to make the
