Ex says he cannot pay me what he owes

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia

Recieved an e-mail for my ex stating that he cannot send my support check and I am a full time student trying to build a new life after he walked away from a 26yr marrage. The support was the only income I had, so I cannot afford an atorney, but aparently he can, he stated that "his atorney had advised him". With no support, I cannot afford an atorney, and my mortgage, on the house he walked away from is due along with basic utilities. I have 2 weeks left in school, and now I don't know if I can clear my mind enough to pass my last 2 exams. What can I do about this??? Who can I contact??

Find someone to borrow the money from to cover your immediate needs, and then forget all about it until your finals are done.

Once your finals are done, then file for contempt against your ex for non-payment.

And realize that you are going to need to get a job to support yourself. You cannot depend on alimony. Why can't he pay? Did he lose his job? If so then he might not be found in contempt.
