A Post Divorce Question
My ex-wife and I have been divorced for 3 years. I have been ruled by the court to pay alimony for life. She had testified in court that she was disabled and too sick to work. She now has a job and is working at least 4 days a week. Is there any way that I can get the alimony I pay to her reduced? The court did not required any medical professional or expert testify that she was disabled or sick, they just took her word for it. What, if anything, can I do? Is it too late?

Re: A Post Divorce Question
Dear Sir,
The answer to your question depends upon whether the judge entered an order that your alimony or maintenance payments are not modifiable. If the judge stated that your maintenance payments are non-modifiable, then it is unlikely that you can lower the amount. If the judge was silent as to whether it is modifiable, you may be able to seek a reduction based upon a change in either her circumstances or yours. I hope that this general information is helpful to you. Without more information about your particular maintenance order, I cannot give you advice that is tailored to your circumstances. I would be happy to meet with you in person to further discuss your case and to review your order. Our firm offers a 45 minute consultation for a reduced fee of $150.00.
