I am attorney.  This is a difficult fact pattern.  you are 40?  what do you mean that you make 52K but you wont be able if at all.\n\nJust straight on limited facts.  Yes they will make you pay alimony.  Might be lifetime, but that is being curtailed.  You big problems are 16 year marriage, her age and income vs. yours.  If your income falls (a lot) then you might be okay.\n\nIf you get money from being disabled vet, does she get an additional stipend?

Find the best lawyer that you can afford. You've been screwed. Since there's obviously been changes in circumstances for her since your divorce, it seems to me that there are grounds for revision of the terms. But see an attorney. That's the best thing you can do now. He'll advise you completely.

Go to court.  If your wife is healthy and able to work you have a good chance of getting the amount you pay significantly lowered.  These are different times.  As a matter of fact my ex and I have joint custody but I pay him.  Because I am capable to work.  Even when I wasn't currently employed.

Not likely....you were only married for a year and you came into the marraige with these things.  Get a good lawyer and you should be fine.  Find a flat rate divorce attorney....it will cost you more up front, (and possible  a little more in the end) but you won't get nickel and dimed with every phone call, email, and paper that needs written/filed.  Good luck....and it really does gt better!

Child support can not be set retroactively-so until she files--he owes her nothing.  Once she files-the court can set support back to the date of filing--but not prior to.  After that, if he does not pay 'through the system' then it can be considered 'a gift'.  He should be paying approx 34% of his gross income for 3 children.  Based on what he was earning when they split--she can figure approx what she SHOULD be getting.  I doubt he has 'overpaid' her.  Have her apply at her local child support agency.   You can look up CA guidelines for support here:\nhttp://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cse/extinf.htm

Will this affect any alimony you get? If he loses his job will you lose too?\n\nGetting revenge is not always as sweet as it seems. Make sure you know what your doing.

They're not saying it's child support. You obviously agreed to the alimony payments in the divorce decree, and you are liable for them. The child support enforcement division has jurisdiction over all support payments. She has a right to enforce the tenets of the settlement agreement. If your financial status has changed, you can petition the court to revise.

You should probably contact the Child Support Agency for further information if your husband has agreed maintenance payments with them.  FSee below for the link.

You gotta ride this out, my friend. Think of diamonds and gold for your wife. It will be cheaper than the alimony.

California is not a common-law marriage state; nor is it a palimony jurisdiction.\n\nUnless there is something you haven't said it's hard to see a basis for her claim. If she did, contrary to what seems to have been the case, make contributions towards payment on the house or mortgage, she may have some sort of claim. Otherwise she is blowing smoke.

Yes - I agree.  Get a lawyer and appeal.  My husband worked for 30 yrs. or so and finally had to quit because of bipolar and his meds.  He applied twice, was turned down both times.  We finally found a reasonable attorney and just last month, my husband received his first check for 1,100.00.  Just don't give up - keep trying, okay?

Only in limited cases. If she is able to work, she is not entitled to alimony.

(A friend huh? )  Why is it that when ever someone on this site wants a "quickie divorce",or wants to break up with someone,the first thing they say is: "It's not me-it's for a friend?"\n\n(1) First of all,why waste your time trying to get answers to your friends problems? Is he/she not capable of taking care of this him/herself?\n( 2) Do you think people on this site are able to determine why this marriage should end,without details?\n(3) Stop Lying!-Your the one who wants the " Quicky divorce" (wink,wink!). You probably got married just as quick,and as a matter of fact,you probably do "everything" quick (wink,wink). (Anyway) stop trying to do everything so "Quickly". Pay the cost to end the marriage,or prove to the Lawyers,that YOUR WIFE is capable of footing the bill!. \n\n(PS) Just to let you know,there is no such thing as "breaking away clean",from a divorce. Everyone will pay,suffer,or whatever in the long run. Don't forget about Alimony,and paying any bills she has accumulated over the years. Good thing there's no kids involved. (Good luck)

Get a lawyer - some will take your case & get payment from your husband plus attend some type pyschological counseling.  You  are being screwed here.   You are entitled to  spousal support; plus visitation.  File an OSC & ask attorney to go ex-parte to get  you temporary financial support until the hearing.\nYou can also fill out paperwork online if CA,,, use this website \nhttp://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/  \nChild needs counseling & when you go to court demand child get it.  No child has the right to pysically abuse their parent & you as her parent should not be penalized by losing your home or the other daughter.\nSeems husband is not doing right by you...  you need to get angry & start standing up for yourself &  your rights

I doubt it. Alimony is totally different than plain old child support.
