Initial Alimony Hearing

[sylviat]

What is the name of your state? DC What actually happens at an initial alimony hearing? Does the judge normally make a decision at that time with respect to alimony? Is it really just a hearing so that the judge can find out what is going on? Will a lien be put on my bank accounts, pay check, etc? I am a woman being sued by her husband. I'm concerned because he is going to present his "I'm disabled via social security standards" situation. He works under the table folks, and I can prove it. Any suggestions?

If the judge orders you to pay alimony, be sure to pay it with a smile.

I'm sure his time married to you was considered an investment by you and you would have to agree that he is deserving of every dime of alimony you pay him. Again congratulations!

I'm sorry. I'm a little confused here. Are you being funny, serious, sarcastic or what? If you remember, I'm the same woman who posted the question of whether or not his knowing up front that he had AIDS BEFORE we got married and never told me should play a role in determing this outcome; I'm the same woman who had to leave my house and hide out because of the physical, emotional and verbal abuse that was inflicted upon me and my (our) girls, and I'm the same woman who wants to know why should he be allowed to get "paid" for all of the horror he has caused me, especially since he is working under the table. Please elaborate a little more.

You have to ignore the other response that you received. Its coming from someone who is very bitter about their own experience.

If you do not have an attorney, you honestly need to get one. The fact that he did not tell you about the Aids...prior to marriage, could have a very significant impact on your case, but you honestly need an attorney to fight this battle for you.

Had my temporary alimony hearing last week. Motion denied.
