Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Spousal Support
I am a woman, I make more money(3x) than my ex. Divorce final September 2003. I have been paying alimony for almost 3 years per our agreement (not court ordered). His lawyer wrote the agreement. We both agreed neither would come back for money for any reason after the 3 years ended. Married 15 years. Three lawyers have told me the deal is solid. Is it? Can he come back at any point in the future for example 2 years afer not taking any money and request more. Would he have a case if for example, if he lost his job? Please advise. Thank you!!!

Re: Spousal Support
It depends on the terms of the Agreement. Some Agreements are worded such that there can be no request for alimony above and beyond that which was agreed to. Others leave it open. Without a careful review of the Agreement by an attorney, no answer can be given to your question. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me, [856-546-8010] mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
Re: Spousal Support
It would appear that with the advice of counsel your husband has waived his right to seek additional spousal support payments due a significant change of his circumstances. You are safe from such an application, in all probability.
