| | | Alimony checks What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Utah
Hi,
I have been receiving checks as alimony payments for several years. Last month I received a check that my ex had written "last payment" on. This is NOT supposed to be the last payment. I was told to cross off the last payment note and go ahead and cash it. I am not sure if that is a good idea or not but I really do need the money. Can someone tell me what is the best thing to do with this check? I have not received any more checks from my ex and am seeing what I have to do to make my ex continue paying as was ordered by the court. |

| | | If he is paying per a court order, his "note" on the check won't change the fact that he still owes more money.

| | | Thank you for the information, it definitely makes sense.
You noted on your reply that you were able to find the answer on Google. Can you please tell me what you used for search parameters. I do a lot of research online and was not sure how to go about this one, maybe I am just too close to it right now. Anyhow, I really would love to know how you conducted your search for this. Thanks! |

| | | Think of it this way.
If that was all it took to end a contract, why would you pay more than one payment for a car?
