The spousal support checkbox was left unchecked. Can she change that later?
I dont know about California, but in Oregon, once the divorce is final they cant come back later to have it changed (term or amount) if there is no spousal support. That is why I went with a buyout instead of monthly alimony payments - the final divorce judgement shows no spousal support. Now if she goes and gets married to OM68 in the coming months, I will have to choke down the reality of that $40G buyout being for naught.
You have that 6 month wait in California. She may realize during that time that she cant survive financially on her own and may decide to try for spousal support. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.
BTW... One of my thread titles was "Alimony is like buying oats for a dead horse".
