Demand for Alimony Payment Signing Instructions Demand for Alimony Payment A divorce decree or separation agreement may specify that one spouse shall assist in the support and maintenance of the other spouse. Alimony is not limited to cash payments. The court may order payment of unreimbursed medical or dental expenses, house payments, or other expenses incurred by the receiving spouse. The court may also order that the paying spouse maintain a life insurance policy on his or her life with the receiving spouse named as a beneficiary. The purpose of this letter is to remind the paying spouse of his or her responsibility to make certain payments and to document the demands for payment. A court which enters a decree of divorce containing an order for support usually retains the power to enter a judgment for delinquent alimony obligations. However, to enforce alimony payments, it may be necessary to obtain the assistance of an attorney. Signing Instructions The Demand for Alimony Payment letter should be signed by you. You should keep a copy of the letter for your records. Photocopies, rather than original copies, of any relevant documents should be included with the letter. You should keep a copy of all correspondence to and from the other spouse, and should maintain a written summary of all telephone conversations.
