Legal Question in Family Law in California

spousal suport check late again.

My ex has been late sending my spousal support check a few times. The check is supposed to arrive on the 1st of every month. This time it arrived on the 3rd. Now my rent is late. Is this his fault or the Postal service? What can I do? When is it time to call my attorney?

Re: spousal suport check late again.

If the third of the month is the latest that he is with the spousal support payment. There is probably not much that you can do about it. Most judges will not find him in contempt for being 3 days late. Your best option is probably to rearrange you finances so that you don't have this problem in the future.
