What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
I have a non-court-ordered separation agreement with my ex which includes the following language related to spousal support:
"8. Commencing and accounting from December 1, 2010, the Husband shall pay the Wife for her support and maintenance the sum of FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS ($1500.00) per month, by direct deposit or check, directly to the Wife. Said alimony payments shall continue on the 1st day of each month thereafter until the first to occur of the following: " ... ". Payments will otherwise cease from April 1, 2012."
I am concerned that the meaning of "cease from April 1, 2012" is ambiguous, and wondering whether I am obligated for an April 1 payment or not. Thoughts?
