If are healthy and working and the same was true when you were married, you may not qualify for spousal support.
- Q. How do I confirm my judgement was part of the PFAU case and ALP. Where can one see the schedule of judgements entered an
- A: You should have received notice from your judgment creditor if you were part of Pfau. You might be able to call the AG's Offic ein Buffalo (they handled it) to see if they an say you were part of it or not.
Regardless if you were part of Pfau, if ALP or " We Servie it for You" was involved in the service of process against you, you may have grounds to contest teh validity of the judgment. Don't wait! Get a copy of the papers from the court and see a consumer lawyer
