Asked on May 16th, 2016 on Divorce - California
More details to this question:
After a long term marriage, a stipulated judgement was entered requiring husband to pay wife monthly. He earned far more than her at the time of separation and this was guideline support. This worked for 2 years, and then husband filed seeking a modification based on (1) wife now earning a decent wage, and (2) husband being diagnosed as disabled. At that time, it was stipulated to terminate support.

If there is a court order terminating the right to receive support, no he cannot. But if the stipulation you refer to was just to stop him paying you and the court retained jurisdiction over the issue of support, yet he can...at least he can try
