Can you still receive alimony if ex husband moves to the Philippines?

Bari Zell Weinberger
Answered by attorney Bari Zell Weinberger
Divorce lawyer at Weinberger Divorce Family Law Group, LLC
Thank you for your question. I am sorry that you find yourself in this situation. Your ex-spouse would generally speaking, be responsible for the alimony payments absent a substantial change of circumstances from the time the Judgement was entered. I recommend that you consult with a family law attorney to discuss your rights and options in filing an enforcement motion and garnishment proceeding.

Can I make a large purchase after I filed for divorce without sharing the purchase with my husband?

Brent R. Chipman
Answered by attorney Brent R. Chipman
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Brent R. Chipman
It depends on whether or not you use your own funds for the purchase, and also if by using the funds for the purchase, you deprive the other spouse of marital assets that should have been used for their support. One way to avoid the problem is to wait until the decree is entered to make the purchase, or to minimize the amount of any down payment for the purchase. A large purchase on credit does not provide an asset with any worth for the court to divide.

How often do couples tear up clothes for revenge

Richard Scott Diamond
Answered by attorney Richard Scott Diamond (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Diamond & Diamond, P.A.
I presume you tore up your wife’s clothing because you felt justified, after concluding that she was cheating on you. The simple answer is that tearing up someone else’s clothing is not acceptable and could give rise to that person filing a domestic violence complaint against you or asking a divorce court to impose sanctions against you for the cost of the damaged clothing in a divorce matter. Hopefully, you are concluding that it is unacceptable to destroy her clothing because of your anger ( or for any other reason). If she has cheated on you, then you need to decide if you and she still want to work through this infidelity to try and save the marriage. Not every act of infidelity requires a marriage to end. It means that you and she are at a crossroad and both of you need to decide how much the marriage means to the 2 of you and whether its worth trying to save. As to your spouse cheating on you, I have no idea as to why it occurred, but in most cases, its because something went wrong between the 2 of you. Simple example is where you are working long hours and she is lonely and when you come home, you are angry, frustrated with issues from work and distant. After tme, that loneliness can become overwhelming and maybe she felt that you simply did not care about her sexually any longer. Sorry.... but I dont know your life or what occurred to cause your spouse to cheat but most often, its not a simple. If you cannot forgive her for her actions or if the 2 of you are not equally committed to working on rebuilding the relationship and the trust, then the solution is to divorce.
