What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama
My ex husband has started to pay his Alimony and child support payments by check. He used to pay by fund transfer since we had checking accounts at the same bank. But I moved my checking account to a different bank. The divorce papers say that he has to pay on the 1st of each month. Now that he is paying by check he has started mailing the check to me, but he doesn't mail the check until either the very last day of the month or the 1st day of the month. I think the check should arrive no later than the 1st of each month. He is saying that as long as it is mailed by the 1st of the month, then he is within our divorce agreement. Is that right or should it be with me by the 1st? I didn't receive this month's check until the 3rd of the month.
Thank you for your help!!
