What are the things that I should be aware of and what action I should take after I make my last wife support payment?

If the court order or contract already had the termination date in it, then you just stop paying when the time comes.  If it is being paid by wage withholding, then you may need a new court order to terminate that.  That is fairly simple to do. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation. Case results depend upon a variety of factors unique to each case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future case.
