Me and my ex were married for 17 years in California. She left me for someone else but still decided to take money from me in the form of alimony. I have been paying $600 a month since 2005 and would like to check on her income currently to see if support can be reduced or terminated. I now live in Colorado and she lives in Texas, would I be able to do this in a Colorado court and what forms need to be filed? Thanks

What does your divorce decree say about alimony?
 
The papers state "Support shall be payable on the first day of each month pending the death of either party, remarriage of recipient, or further order of the court"

Were you divorced in CA or CO?

This smells like the crap that CA courts use to reward adulterous spouses!

You can easily request this of a CA court, if they approved this onerous act of piracy!

Otherwise, speak with a CO lawyer and if you can petition a CO to order termination of the payments.

My suspicions are that she won't be able to get a TX court to enforce the $600 a month CA ordered ripoff.

If that is the case, you might just be able to stop paying it anyway.

But, as long as it exists, the way it was written, a CA court could enforce it.

At any rate, talk to a CO lawyer or two, I suspect you can get this ripoff quashed!
 
The state you divorced in has jurisdiction. You need to take your paperwork to an attorney but you were foolish to agree to permanent alimony until she dies or remarries. It is going too be very hard to stop it.
