It depends - lump sum or defined term maintenance (what alimony is called in Kentucky) is usually not modifiable. Lifetime maintenance is modifiable. So, if you have a modifiable type of maintenance, you may be successful in showing you can no longer afford the level of maintenance previously awarded. However, I doubt that the three children will be a factor since, even if you get married, you do not have a legal obligation to support those children. The pay cut is your stronger argument.
