QUESTION
What can I do if my ex husband stopped paying alimony and he lives in a different state?
Asked on Oct 22nd, 2013 on Divorce - California
More details to this question:
We were divorced in California, where I still live, and he moved to Tennessee after we divorced and remarried. He was ordered to pay $1600/month and then about a year ago he chose to reduce it to 600 and then last month he wrote me a letter stating he was not going to pay it and did not pay last month or this month. I'm 63 and disabled so I rely on the support.

You need to consult an attorney about registering your judgment in the jurisdiction where he lives so that you can pursue collection.

You need to find an attorney in Tennessee so that you can enforce your support order against your ex husband. You also need to make sure that the order is filed in the county where your ex husband resides. A local attorney should be able to help you with the process.
