Legal Question in Family Law in California
spousal support, when does it end?
I was married for 12 years, and divorced now for 6. I am paying child support of $600 and spousal $200/mo. I left her the house and everything in it, to help her and to have a house to raise my daughter in who is now 5. But she is now renting that house and has moved in with her parents and brother, and my kid and her sleep together in one room. I feel that my daughter should have her own room and is too old to be sleeping with her mom. Also she is a nurse and makes the same income as me, and now has no bills to pay, and because of the change of circumstance of her moving in with her parents, I asked her when spousal would end. She stated ''never'' because it was pay back for leaving her, and is using that money so she could have 4 days a week off. She doesn't need the money. She makes so much money now with the renters and living off her parents, that she has enrolled my child into a Private school, which I don't agree to. She also has gotten breast implants and goes on vacations whenever I have my child for visitations over the summer. She threatens me with my child that if I don't pay the Spousal , I won't see my kid and she will take me to court. When can it end? Is there a time limit for this support? She doesn't need help.

You should move the court to terminate the support. You need to file and serve a OSC, declaration and appear in court. Contact me directly for assistance.
