Alimony from state to state

[mainiac]

I was divorced in NC and now reside in Maine. If I discontinue spousal support is it possible for my spouse to take legal action against me across state lines?

Ummm, yeah. She can sue you and get a judgment against you as well as liens on all your property, bank accounts seized, paychecks garnished. You apparently have a COURT ORDER. Not a Court-if-i-wanna.

lol this is too funny, why havent all the other alimony payers realized you can just move out of state?! or anyone with a judgment against them!

OP, it's called full faith and credit to a sister-state judgment.
