Legal Question in Family Law in California
Hi. Me and my wife filed for an uncontested divorce in California where she agreed and signed that I will not owe her any money/support/alimony going forward. After the divorce is final (6 month waiting period in California) and signed by a judge, can she change her mind later and demand support/alimony? Can I be legally held liable for alimony or any form of ex-spousal support in such a case? Any advice or info will be appreciated, thanks.

It is possible to permanently waive spousal support, but it requires specific legal language in the marital settlement agreement and judgment, and it almost certainly will not be upheld if the spouse waiving support is not represented by an attorney.
