Alimony Payment End Date

Summary

In Virginia, alimony payments generally end on the date specified in the court order. If your birthday is May 1st and the order states payments end when you turn 60, then he wouldnt owe you for May. However, he would owe for April. If your birthday was later in May, he would owe for the entire month of May as the payment is due on the 1st.

Hello ****, in Virginia, generally the alimony payments end on the date specified in the court order. If your birthday is May 1st and the order states your payments end when you turn *, then he wouldn't owe you for May.
But he will still owe me in April, right?
Yes, ****. If the court order states that alimony payments end when you turn *, he should owe you for April, provided your 60th birthday is in May.
It actually says he pays me until I turn *. So if he owes the first of the month it would seem like he would owe me in may.
If the court order states he pays until you turn *, and your birthday is on May 1st, then he would not owe for May. His obligation ends the day you turn *, which is the first day of May.
But if my birthday was the * Th then he would have to pay because it's due on the 1st of the month, right?*
Yes, ****. If your birthday was on May 6th, he would be obligated to pay for the whole month of May as the payment is due on the 1st.
