California alimony - do you know how many years you can receive it?
608089
I have heard that California has some of the worst alimony laws in the country.. from a man's perspective. But I don't know any details.\n\nIf your lawyer urges you to take it, it must be good. They make a percentage, don't they? Trust a lawyer to pick up the last penny he/she can.\n\nOk, my answer is: call up a few divorce lawyers and ask. Most will answer such general questions on the phone for free.\n\nOk, my two cents is: WTF, half of all your assets and 8 years of alimony is not enough? You can't find a new job or husband in 8 years? Or did you just want to find a boyfriend to spend your ex's money with? Cuz he can't quit his job even if he wanted to, now, because he would go to jail for not paying you alimony. No wonder OJ was mad.

Is it past the statute of limitations on verbal agreements in your state. If not you probably could win at least part of it but than you have to figure out how you are going to collect it. It is not the duty of the court to make him pay you.

If I could put a limit, after 2 years the check would be cut in half, 2 more years and you are ineligible for another 5-10 years.  I have know some people to be born with welfare dollars, live, raise kids, and die all on welfare, and their kids repeat the story.  there's no excuse!!!  I can understand helping the "down-on-their-luck" people, but not for 50 or 60 or more years...AND their children.

I've heard it can take up to 2 years. Are you trying to get your spouse here? visapro.com has a lot of good information.

Depends on the State. Could be 5 years.

Spousal support is another term for alimony, usually money paid to the non-working spouse for a time until they are able to find a means of support.

If you send one extra payment per year, I think it takes off something like 6 or 7 years off your mortgage...good for you if you do it!

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?

Once your married for a period of time it can't be anulled so I'm not sure what you're asking or if you simply mistated your question.  Also certain actions preclude an anullment regardless of length of time.

I never been divorce . . . but you will still have to pay support . . . there is no way around it . . . and in California . . . you will be paying for the rest of her life . . . because I highly doubt she will remarry.\n\nAs for the amount if you still make $52K, then you may be paying closed to $16-20K/yr . . . but you have to talk with a divorce attorney . . . plus she gets half of your military retirement and everything else.\n\nIn other words you are screwed . . .

What do you mean by a statute of limitations on divorce decrees?  Those two don't normally go together.\n\nDo you mean on how long they are good for?  That's forever.\n\nDo you mean how long before you have to get one?\n\nPlease clarify.  Thanks!\n\nOK, gotcha now.\n\nIf you have children, you can go back for a review of any of the terms of child support, etc.  And will be able to until the children are 18.\n\nAs far as a divorce decree, no.  Once its over, its over and final.  And even if you have kids, you still can't go back to revisit any of the terms that pertain to you or your husband (i.e. division of property, alimony, etc.)\n\nThere is no going back to review a divorce decree unless in rare cases of say you were on medication that made you unable to enter a legal agreement.  Or in some other situation where you were not able to enter into a legal agreement.  And then it would still be hard to do and possible wouldn't work anyway.\n\nSorry you got the short end of the stick.  A lot of times people do divorces without a lawyer because of the money, then they find out later that they got a raw deal.  This happens a lot where the wife is left bewildered and the husband says, "well you don't have to pay for an attorney, just let mine take care of it." I have a friend going through that now. Live and learn is the best you can do.  :-)

It depends. Did you sign a prenuptual aggreement? If you did, basically what is going to happen is you're going to leave with what you came in the marriage with and your spouse will leave with what he/she came into the marriage with. If not, then it's actually the court's/judge's decision. The judge will make their decision based on the whole situation. Most likely, if there's kids involved, the one who has legal custody of the kids will get the most assets. If allimony comes up, the one who makes more money will have to pay it if asked to. Watch out though, because if you're the one who makes less and you're the reason why the divorce is happening, the judge might not rule alimony payments in your favor, if you ask for them.

California laws has a separate property law. Since you owned the property before you were married, he can not take it way from you. \n\nhttp://www.nvo.com/beaulier/statebystatedivorcelaws/

No\n\nYou can check the conditions to get divorce in Spain checking the link (European Comission summary for divorce situation in all the countries in the European Union).\n\n"It is conditional on the parties to the marriage having effectively lived apart for a period ranging between one and five years, depending on circumstances. The only case where this condition does not apply is in the event of one spouse being convicted of an attempt on the life of the other spouse, or of his/her ascendants or descendants"

depends on which state you live in, the statute of limitations in california on loan payments is 7 years i think, just find out if the statute of limitations passed allready where you live and if it didnt, pay thee 16 bucks and sue his ass. I hope the IOU has his signature on it.

It depends on what type of account your spouse has their retirement through.  If it is a defined benefit pension plan you are S.O.L. because you can only get a monthly benefit at their earliest eligible retirement age. Many other plans (like defined contribution) are the same way, but will let you take the money after 3 years.  In any event, it will probably take 18 months AT LEAST, since this is how long the plan has to go back and forth with your attorney as to how the QDRO is worded, etc.
