Re: Alimony
You say there is a "loop hole left open for alimony."
Unless the divorce decree is very specific regarding your entitlememt to obtain alimony in the future, you most likely have waived that right the day the divorce was granted. I haven't seen the decree so I can't tell you whether you really are entitled.
Nevertheless, you need to file a motion to modify the decree post-judgment and request alimony. He needs to be served with the motion by marshal. Then you need to go to court on the court date.
