If the disability is short term then no. You should file for a reduction in alimony if you are injured. Contact my office for free consultation.

I am not sure I agree with Mr. Smitten on this issue. If this is through Afflac then I would suspect that you would still be garnished. However, I definitely would file an emergency motion for reduction of alimony while undergoing surgery and recovery.
