When do alimony/child support payments begin?: I was told by a lawyer that it begins the date of the judgment, another one told me 90 days after judgment?
Asked over 5 years ago in Child Support
Meredith’s answer: You may want to consult with an attorney who can assist you in reviewing the terms of your Judgment. Unless the Separation Agreement or Judgment states otherwise, the payments should begin as of the date of the Judgment itself, not at the expiration of the 90 day Nisi period.

So confused: Even though I have a court order saying I can see kids 2 a week and weekends. My ex who has physical and legal custody will not let me see kids she won’t even pick up my phone calls and I can’t reach my children or her. What can I do ?

Meredith’s answer: You may want to consult with an attorney who can review the Court Order and better advise you as to how best to proceed and assist with preparing a Complaint for Contempt if necessary. You mentioned that your ex is not answering your phone calls, you may want to request contact in writing via text or email as well so that there is a documented paper trial confirming your efforts and the lack of response.
Best of luck –

After 41 years my husband left and he divorced me in Sept 2004. Alimony was set at $2200 a month as I am handicapped.: In 2005 he called said he retired and would send 1500 monthly. Today he called and said he would no longer pay me. What can I do?

Meredith’s answer: You should consult with a family law attorney to discuss further. It sounds like you may be able to file a Complaint for Contempt due to his unilateral reduction of support in 2005 and recent termination of support. A review of your Separation Agreement would be necessary to better advise as you as to what you could anticipate in terms of support moving forward in light of the Alimony Reform Act.
