She is not telling you the whole truth. Oral agreements are useless;
Get a lawyer.
Re: HELP for my kids
First, I assume there is no divorce pending between you and your wife.
Until she goes to court to seek support, she cannot force you to pay anything. She cannot put you in jail and the court is not going to put you in jail unless you disobey a court order, but they can require a support of your children going forward.
More information is needed to properly to advise you. I suggest you sit down with an attorney learn what your real options are. Then talk to your wife and your children and decide what the best thing is to do.
