It is unusual in California to have a Judgment state that spousal support payments shall continue for 1 year after the death of the payor spouse. I suggest having the underlying Judgment reviewed by an experienced family law lawyer.

Good luck to you.

Re: Collecting alimoney after death of exhusband

if you can give me additional facts, i may be able to assist you legally. let me know when the agreement was executed, if you are currently receiving spousal support and amount, and if your husband is still alive or is deceased. there is a formula the court uses to determine support payments as well as various options on how to recover what you are entitled to directly from your husband and/or his estate.
