Name: JMV   Title: What states/Countries do not recognise Alimony and will not

What States in the USA and what countries do not recognise alimony and will not extradite you back to the state you got your divorce in? Also Is Costa Rica a country that will extradite you for non payment of Alimony? Also heard that they (Courts) do not come after you for non payment of alimony ..just non payment of Child support ..which for me the children are emancipated now! My divorce was in the state of Massachusetts!

HELP!! ASAP!

My husband works with Document do it yourself service (they deal with divorces in all 50 states) and he says he does not know of any states that do not recognize alimony from other states. If it is court ordered, and you have a copy of those papers, all states should recognize it, from what we understand.
As far as Costa Rica, that is something you'll have to contact the country about specifically.
No, courts will come after you for non payment of alimony again, as long as you have papers stating that he owes you alimony. You need to contact your local court and report him for non payment of court ordered alimony.

I'm all in favor of child support, but I'll commit suicide before I pay alimony. Let the parasite get a job and support herself.

My spouse is ordered to pay 12k...per month....for life.....dosent get much worse than that. The marriage only lasted 12 years, she has a masters degree, and wont work....if the alimony and child support are unallocated, then how do you know what is child support and what is alimony?

I would like to respond to madalex comment that trying to avoid paying alimony is despicable....although I respect everyone's opinion....what I find despicable is forcing one citizen to labor to pay another citizen against their will. Unless a crime has been committed and monetary restitutuion is necessary, forced servtitutde is despicable.

This is my definition of slavery and forced alimony.

Hello, I feel your pain, my husband and myself pay an exhorbitant amount of alimony to his former spouse on a law that was established in 1857. As a second wife, my income is counted towards funds available to pay for her leisure lifestyle...but whining doesn't help me. Join mass alimony reform.. www.massalimonyreform.org

We have made tremendous progress in updating the laws currently having a bill prohibiting lifetime alimony and exhorbitant alimony "just because" working through the state process.

Join us now, you can help us help you.

JMV ...... I have to agree with madalex. Despicable.

What's despicable is the refusal of Massachusetts judges to place time limits on alimony and to review alimony awards periodically. We're not talking about child support here. No one should be forced to pay alimony indefinitely.

Good luck, JMV . I hope you find what you are looking for.

I pay alimony and I don't really like doing it, but moving to another state to get out of your legal obligation to pay alimony is despicable.
