23 years eh? In California anything over 7 years obligates you to paying alimony for the rest of your life (unless she re-marries, so she’ll usually just shack up with the bum instead).
No, according to what I’ve heard from others that know him, when her money runs out, he’ll kick her out.
And without income, she ain’t got the money to last the year of separation required in Virginia.
Reminds me of the case of my late uncle.
He was paying alimony and child support to his ex.
She apparently got remarried, but did not inform my uncle, nor his lawyer, nor the court.
His lawyer discovered this by happenstance almost two years after the fact while researching something else.
They dragged his ex into court. The judge gave her a stern lecture from the bench, but did not make her pay back any of the money. He did terminate her alimony from that date.
She turned around and filed for an increase in child support equal to the amount she had just lost in alimony. A female Family Court judge awarded it to her.
Oh, and I forgot to mention......
This happened at the beginning of last month. Since, she has had me committed (called 911 saying I was suicidal), pulled half our savings out while I was in psych, broke into the house after I changed the locks (also while in psych), and you should read the nasty texts I receive from her (or is it him?).
I was going out of my mind.....until I talked to a counselor last Saturday who explained a lot to me.
Not true. Married for 15 years in CA. Stopped paying alimony after 8 more.
