Q: What to file with the court to notify of a spousal support pre payment ? Just so our case reflects the new ss end date
My ex was ordered to pay a car loan (the loan is in both our names) per our divorce decree, she is having trouble paying it, she has agreed to let me pay off the loan and deduct that amount from the remaining spousal support. What paperwork can we file with the court so this gets logged in our case and reflects the new spousal support end date ? My divorce decree says I can pre pay the spousal support at any time, state is in Nevada btw. Thanks in advance
A: I would recommend that you file a stipulation to modify the current spousal support court order. The modification should represent the new, agreed upon alimony amount that reflects what was deducted due to the car payment. Any other pre-payment should be made in the form of a check that is thoroughly documented to prove payment was made and received ahead of the deadlines issued in your court order.
