Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

ex not paying spousal support

Our divorce was final almost 2 years now. He was court ordered to pay spousal support for about 3 years. He has made 2-3 payments since the divorce. We have a good relationship and I really don't want to ruin it by going back to court. I was wondering why this is not being taken out of his wages like child support, and what I can do about getting my support owed.

Re: ex not paying spousal support

You can, very simply, lodge an Order of Assignment with the Court, or even just fax the Court a "New Employer Information Sheet". You can find forms and information for doing so here:

If you need further assistance, we can certainly help. I can explain the procedures better by phone or in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via e'mail.

We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail.

As far as costs, please know that our fees vary depending on your circumstances and needs.
