I was the petitioner for my divorce, being as I made more
income then my spouse I had to pay spousal and child
support. Reason I left because my spouse cheated. That was
years ago, now all our children have graduated and turned
18. I have been paying spousal and child support since
2003. During our marriage my spouse had 3 children out of
wedlock, and I have been supporting one of them. The other
2 were concieved during our separation. A few years back my
spouse was given the Gavron Warning, and was requested by
court order to take a vocational evaluation to see if the
respondent could work. My ex-spouse never looked for work
nor, went to school to learn skills. The last of our
children was emancipated in August 2016. Since then I have
refused to pay my spouse any spousal support. During that
time my spouse has bought 3 homes and is a landlord. He
doesn't need the money I send monthly for his support. I
might add we are both in our mid 50's. Question, must I go
before the court to request stopping the spousal support or
can I just stop paying? The child support division in our
area says they will not 'enforce' any more payments to my
spouse.
