Q: Divorce decree Alimony requirements and VA disablity
I have my signed decree that states, "Support alimony payments shall only terminate if Petitioner remarries". My ex-wife informed me she has remarried effective 5 March 2020. I have paid the amount in full as required for March. When April rolls around do I require a court injunction to stop payments, or can I simply stop making the payments?
Regarding VA disability, is the amount I receive from the VA included as Gross Monthly income as required by 43 O.S. Section 118B(B)? Or is the amount exempt because under the "military payment" section VA is not mentioned at all?
Thank you for your time and support.
A:
Hire an attorney to help you terminate the alimony payment. Things at the courthouse are moving slow with the weather closings and covid so get this filed asap.
VA is used for purposes of gross income in calculating child support.
