My question involves divorce in the State of: California. A divorce was started and went into default after I didn't show up to court. This was about 5 years ago. The ex has been using my last name this whole time and it appears it might be to her benefit because she was an illegal alien and I'm not sure if she's allowing this to go on so that it helps her residence status. I've also been paying spousal support for the entire time even though we were married for only a few months. My question is how do I complete the divorce process and how do I drop the spousal support? If possible to answer what are her benefits ofstaying married and leaving the divorce in default.
