What if I were never legally married in California but have been told by the court to pay alimony?
If you were never legally married in California, the court would generally not have the authority to order you to pay alimony. Alimony is usually only awarded in divorce cases to provide financial support to a spouse after the end of the marriage. If you have been wrongly ordered to pay alimony, you should consult with a family law attorney to seek judicial review and potentially have the order overturned.
