    Default California spousal support and county questions

    We have a few questions to ask of a family law facilitator. However, my fiance's case is in a different county and they don't accept phone calls. It would be difficult to drive there because his license is suspended.

    Does anyone know if the county in which we currently reside would offer us some simple information regarding forms, or would they just tell us, "Too bad, you have to see the facilitator in the county the original papers were filed"?

    Also, there is the remote possibility that his ex-wife may agree to end the temporary spousal support (its been 9 years & this is what are questions are regarding). Is there a form that both parties can sign and make it simple?

    Default Court Forms

    If you're looking for advice about court forms, clerks' offices are not supposed to give any legal advice. If you're just looking for general information about the selection of a form, and the same form is in use in both jurisdictions, the clerk may be able to answer your questions; but if you tell the clerk that you are asking about a case in another county they may defer to that county.

    Obviously the spouse is benefiting from "temporary" spousal support, so why would she sign something to voluntarily end it? Your fiance would benefit from consulting a lawyer to determine the best course of ending this "temporary" alimony.

    Thanks. We actually went to the facilitator earlier today. The county was able to answer some basic questions and this particular woman was very nice, something I definitely wasn't expecting.

    The answer to my question, for anyone else in a similar situation, is that a stipulation must be signed by both parties (notarized) then signed by the judge and filed with the court

    Obviously the spouse is benefiting from "temporary" spousal support, so why would she sign something to voluntarily end it?
    It has been 9 years since the divorce. She was ordered to get a job as to "lessen the support obilgation and eventually become self-sufficient". The marriage length was 11 years. The spousal support was never lowered.

    We know she may not volutarily give up support, however we're trying to be nice. If she says no, we're going to begin the battle.
