Justice PLEICONES
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent. In 1997, the parties reached an agreement whereby the former husband began making monthly payments to his former wife in amounts far greater than the child support required of him by the 1995 modification of the 1993 order. While the terms of this 1997 agreement are unclear, and the agreement itself unenforceable, I find no abuse of discretion in the family court’s decision to award the former husband a set-off for these greater-than-required payments against the monies due the former wife under the 1995 order. In my opinion, the family court’s equitable resolution of this situation should be affirmed.
