Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

alimony
I was divorced in 1991 and my wife received most of the

assets.

I was ordered to pay $500./mo and I did so until 2002 when

I was unable to continue.

Her lawyer then had 1/2 of my s/s seized and sent to her.

She has income from investments + other income and a

mortgage free home, + her s/s and 1/2 of mine.

I am age 74, have a mortgage on my home, had to borrow to

survive, and I must work full time (8.00 hr.)

I read that the Florida Supreme Court ruled (1992) that

senior citizens should be able to retire at age 65 even

though it means elimination of alimony.

The case cited was Pimm v Pimm and the Florida attorney who

supported the right to retire on behalf of he family law

section of the Florida Bar was Deborah Marks of Miami.

She won this case for Mr. Pimm and said ''the bright line

that a man may not retire, is gone''.Pimm was relieved

of further alimomy payments.

My ex-wife travels--has a new car--is debt free-

May I get relief?

Re: alimony

You must seek a court modification based on change of circumstances. Good luck.
