What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
I currently collect alimony. My ex is relocating to Europe. Will he still be obligated to continue my payments?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? |

| | | He's obligated until the court says he's not. However, if he doesn't... good luck in finding him and dragging him back on a civil contempt motion.

| | | Hopefully, you've used the time you've been receiving alimony to obtain career enhancement that will make you self sufficient, in case he gets run over by a herd of sheep while living in Europe and cannot work any more.

| | | Thanks much. I have a career, but, this lovely economy makes the alimony a necessity. Maybe I can get him to put me in his will before he leaves, and hire some sheep... |

My ex could certainly use a visit

I wonder how I do it if it's a necessity. I thought I had all the necessities taken care of.

Would kinda make me feel like I was relying on the ex *shudder*

I don't get it. Will people EVER learn?

Seriously CC..there are a lot of desparate people in this country right now. Its tacky to be so arrogant and "flip". Be thankful that you still have a job. Lots of formerly, financial stable people don't.

Lots of formerly, financial stable people don't. | So you would be advocating someone relying on their bread and butter coming from someone else? Really? Thankful I have a job... you bet I am. If I didn't have this one, I'd have another one. Two or three if I needed them, but I'll be damned if I put my life and finances in someone else's hands. I know some people are ok with codependence, but where I come from it doesn't go down that way. Arrogant and flip? In your opinion, maybe, but you know what they say about opinions....
It's PLAIN OLE STUPID for someone to rely on someone else, especially in this economy to depend on someone else to support them. YOU even giving someone the idea that it's a good idea is a recipe for disaster, but hey, maybe they can all go live with you when it doesn't work out, he jumps ship and she's back on here saying how she can't live because the alimony stopped. I'm sure your words of encouragement will put food on the table.

I happen to agree that its wisest not to rely on someone else...which is why I consistantly and repeatedly say that people should plan their budgets based on what they can provide, and consider any support (child support OR alimony) to be a "bonus" if they get it.
However, that doesn't change the fact that your comment was "flip".
