As I am 99.9% sure that divorce is around the corner for me I am trying to get all my ducks in order so that I can better be prepared to know what I'm up against and also to feel more confident that I will be ok when this is said and done.<p>So... I have a question regarding child & spousal support. Since my H makes a far greater salary than I, spousal and child support will be my main source of providing a life for me and my children.
I will probably be relocating to a different state when this is settled.... I can't afford to live in this state and my family are all in another state. If my H chooses to ignore court orders of payment of spousal support (as he has many times alluded that they aren't enforceable) and if I am in another state..... will/can the court ordered amount still be garnished from his wages? Will it be harder for me to collect this? I won't have the funds to be able to live month to month waiting for something to be settled in court for months on end.
Does anyone have experience with this scenario?

just make sure they attach his wages, other wise it will be hard to collect if he isn't willing to pay.

Dear waiting2exhale,<p>I can't help you in alot of your questions. However, I do know that you should be prepared for this process to take quite of while. Especially if you and your H do not agree on most terms (like the support you mentioned) I filed last September, have had 2 temporary hearings bumped and my next temporary support hearing is scheduled for late January. And that is just the temporary hearing. Who knows when the final court date will be set. They still must do all these depositions and things.<p>The court will also try to discourage you from moving. I know they like to keep the parents close so that both can maintain frequent visitation with the children. It sounds like you have a pretty significant reason to move though, so they may consider this.<p>Good luck to you and God Bless,
Lisa

I filed in July - still no determination of support - and not expecting any in the near future. In fact I'll be really surprised if he EVER has to pay any.<p>Don't count on the courts to make that happen. Get busy and find a way to support your kids without him... It can be done - and it can be done without spending mega hours away from them.<p>Don't wait for him to do what is right - he probably won't.<p>Jan
