6. Twelve years without paying alimony as ordered by the court

The divorce decree was entered in 1981 ordering alimony of $1,000 a month. His ex-wife went back to court in 1993 seeking a contempt order for failure to pay. Newt made up the difference before the judge issued his ruling. I wonder how much back alimony it came to.
