Hypothetical question: If a person's only income was his pension and his only asset his home in Florida, would it be possible to just stop paying alimony and escape jail for contempt? If OJ could do it, why not others?

| OJ Didn't have to deal with Family Court where you really don't have any rights as a Cash Cow. |

OK. But, I understand that FL law protects pension income and one's home from seizure for any reason. If a man has no other assets, couldn't he avoid alimony?

As I have read in many Florida case histories on-line, to stop paying court ordered alimony payments for ANY reason is Contempt of Court in the State of Florida. I'm speaking of payments that were ordered in a Florida Court. Althought the state will not keep track of payment history and take it upon themselves to incarcerate you, if the ex-wife files for a contempt of court hearing and ask that you be incarcerated, they may well put a pickup order out on you in your county or throughout the state. They may also take you into custody at the hearing if you cannot pay all arrears at the hearing. You most likely will be held in jail until all arrears are paid in full.
Florida's Statute 61.08 is not a fair law by any means!!! |
