Legal Questions about Alimony and Assistance

Questioner

Hello, If you are divorced and your ex ends up on welfare, they can recover that from you for up to 12 years, this story is clear to me. Suppose your ex starts living together with a new partner, then that new partner can support your ex. But what if that relationship ends and your ex-partner ends up on welfare again. Can they then come to me again, for up to those 12 years?

Lawyer

No, that is not possible, not again.

Questioner

Thanks for your answer. I know that this is not possible for spousal support, but according to a lady from the local government welfare department, this does apply to welfare. Do you have a link for me where I can read that this does not apply to welfare either?
