Spousal Support After Ex-Spouse Convicted of Domestic Battery
My question involves divorce in the State of: CA
I am currently paying my ex-spouse spousal support.
If my ex-spouse has been convicted of domestic battery against me, do I still need to keep paying spousal support?
Will the court automatically change this, or do I need to file for a modification?

Yes, you have to keep paying but you can - apparently - file to modify.
There's actually some very helpful general information about modification (with the applicable codes) here
I'm not associated with the site at all - it's just got some great info.

Spousal support is a family court issue. Domestic Battery is a criminal issue. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Mentioning the two in the same post suggests some sort of contrived relationship that simply does not exist as a matter of law. Furthermore, mentioning the two in the same post smacks of the ignorant and petty bickering that usually annoys the hell out of a family court Judge.

Actually, you're dead wrong on this one.
DV can ABSOLUTELY affect spousal support. Are you familiar with the CA code? Read the link posted.
