QUESTION
How can I determine that I already paid spousal support in full?
Asked on Mar 13th, 2013 on Divorce - California
More details to this question:
The divorce decree stated that I had to pay $522.00 per month for spousal support because my ex-wife and I were together for 150 months. At present, I already paid a total of $78, 892.55. My ex is demanding that I pay two more months of spousal support. The divorce decree stated that I will pay spousal support until the total amount is paid which was $78,300.00. Am I not fully paid yet?

Thank you for your important question. The lawyers at Bruning & Associates PC will help you. You need to hire an experienced divorce lawyer. Please call for a free consultation. From the facts described in your question, it seems that you have paid all of the spousal support required of you. However, the safest method of determining that all support is paid is to file a motion with the court terminating spousal support.

If you feel you are in compliance with the order and your numbers are correct then send her nothing more.

Yes it sounds like you are paid in full. One of you will have to file papers with the court to make a finding that you have paid in full.

If your payments were made on time, then it appears you have overpaid. Was there a provision for interest on the total amount due? If so, there are plenty of online calculators that can help you do the math.
