Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Alimony Change of Circumstance
I was divorced in 1994 in NJ and now live in VA. My wife was awarded alimony and my pension was equitably distributed. In 2001 I was retired on disability from my job. At that time my wife also began receiving a monthly pension benefit. My decree states that I can request a alimony reduction after her income reaches $20,000. She also works.
1. Would this constitute a change of cricumstance?
2. Since I live in VA do I have to file a motion in NJ? She lives in Ocean County

1. Yes, 2. Yes.
I suggest you get an attorney to help you with this. These motions can be very difficult and she will likely fight to keep the alimony the same.

You must make a motion in your divorce case for a reduction of alimony based on a significant change of circumstances. You must file in the courthouse where you were divorced.
