Full question:
The temporay court order states that alimony will be paid on the 16th of each month in 2006, the permanent court order of January 2007, states alimony will now be paid on the 1st of each month. My ex claims he does not owe for the entire month of January, rolling over December 16th 06' payment to the 2nd week of January 07'. I was under the impression that alimony payments were a monthly commitment not a weekly basis.

Answer:
Generally, a court order takes effect when it is entered and is not retroactive unless explicitly stated. A temporary order usually remains in effect until it is revoked, expires, or is replaced by a permanent order. It's advisable to consult with a local attorney to review the specific language of your orders and related documents.
