The answer will likely depend on the disposition of the prior case. If a final order was issued, you may have to appeal, and not reopen. Contact an attorney who can review your file and discuss with you the facts surrounding your desire to reopen the case.

The language of the Final Judgment is controlling. Have the document reviewed by an attorney as soon as possible.

If the divorce did not award alimony and the time to appeal has passed then you have no case.
