What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA
After 10 years of an abusive marriage I got divorce on August 2000. My ex was order to pay spousal and child support but I never received a single payment. Recently on March 2008 I requested Child Support for my two kids and I also had an option to collect back Spousal Support payments. I started reciving some money but I got served with an order to show cause on Thursday. My ex wants the Spousal suport terminated and retroactivate the court order to 06/05/08 on grounds that I remarried on 05/01/06. When requested Child Support and Spousal support I did not fail to informed the Child Support Agency that I was marry and that I only wanted to collect on the BACK SPOUSAL SUPPORT. On the payment history I requested the payment to be retractive from August 2000 until April 2006, since I got married on May 2006. I want to know what is the statue of limitaions on enforcing a court order. I never bother to enforced it because he was a drug addict that while I was marry to him he stopped working in order to avoid child support payments to another son he has from a previous relationship. During those years I worked very hard and went back to school to get a BS in Business. I want to know if I can still collect for back payments even if I remarried. He is more stable now and he is able to pay back what the court ordered to pay me. $277.00 per month. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU!!!
