statue of limitations

1. 1981 had a legal separation stipulated in the superior
court in California.

2 This read "Temporary Legal Separation".

3. Spousal support of $3000 monthly was paid thru 1989.

4. Due to my financial difficulties only $1000 monthly
was paid through 1998.

5. I filed for divorce in 1999 in Arizona & spousal supp
was gramted pf $1000 monthly as of that date.

6. 2 weeks ago i was sued in the Sup. Ct. of Cal. by my
ex for $200,000 which is the amount not paid 1989 to
1999.

7. Statute of Limitations?

8. Can I have the suit changed to Arizona?

9. When the divore was granted was it obligatory to
make a mandatory "counter-claim" at that time?

My response:

Ironduke - - we would like you to place all of your posts on one, single, thread. Be detailed also. For example, you asked about filing a "counterclaim" - - a counterclaim about what? So, be detailed about your questions.

When a divorce is argued and granted does not the respondent

have to state at that time all other claims that they feel

they are entitled to. In Arizona this is called

"compulary counter-clam".

My response:

Not unless the counter-motion (or "cross-complaint") is "transactionally related".

the claime is for past due spousal support for the years

1989-199.

at the time of the divorce a final propery settlement and

new spousal support was agreed to by both parties.

In Arizona all claims have to be made at the time of

the new agreement. (final divorce).

this claim has been made 1 year after the divorce.
