Question:
Hi, I am divorced from my husband of 45 years, for 2 years now. He is collecting 100 % disabillity compensation,and pays me by our divorce decree, $1,500 per month. I do not have any income besides alimony and $700 social security.
Since alimony is court ordered and if he is put in assisted living , will he be exempt from paying my alimony? Will the VA take back the alimony?
Jim's Reply:
In most instances it's safe to assume that if he is living and has adequate income, your support payments should continue unless and until a court orders otherwise.
